Short Term Letting within New Cut Rigg 

The title deeds for the properties (the Deed of Conditions) provide that our flats are used only as private dwellings, are not occupied by more than one family at a time and are not used for carrying on a business.  At the AGM in 2023, it was agreed that these provisions apply to Short Term Letting and there should be no Short Term Letting at New Cut Rigg. 

Further, planning permission is required for a change of use from Residential to Short Term Letting, which Edinburgh Council have made known will not be granted in buildings with common access stairs.  An application for such a change of use has been made and refused on appeal at New Cut Rigg, with an enforcement order served. 

Finally, there is a requirement in Edinburgh for a Licence to operate a Short Term Let, which would only be considered if planning permission had previously been granted. 

Accordingly, New Cut Rigg should not suffer the nuisance and disturbance resulting from Short Term Lets.
