“Due to the introduction of the Short Term Let Licence process the review panel have asked us to apply for a Certificate of Lawfulness.”

It was refused by the local authority on the basis that: “The proposed change of use would constitute development as per Section 150 of The Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 (as amended) and therefore requires an application for full planning permission.”
