City of Edinburgh Council’s Development Management Subcommittee unanimously refused planning permission for a short-term letting proposal at 7-8 Baxter’s Place.
Association of Scotland’s Self-Caterers Chief Executive, Fiona Campbell, said:
“The ASSC supports fully the decision to refuse planning permission to the ‘party flats’ at Baxter’s Place.
“Running a ‘party flat’ in this manner and permitting the behaviour that they have allowed to go on in it is completely unacceptable and does a disservice to all legitimate short-term rental operators across the Capital.
“These careless individuals would be unwelcome in the ASSC as all our members adhere to the high standards contained in our Code of Conduct.
“Our organisation, and all our members, support City of Edinburgh Council in this decision and will continue to offer our support in ensuring that the everyone in our sector upholds the values of quality, integrity, cleanliness, courtesy, and efficiency in everything that they do.”
