The Council gave consideration to a report which
sought approval of the arrangements for the Council’s Short-term Let Licensing
Scheme.
Decision
The
Council –
1. noted the
considerable work undertaken to develop the new licensing regime in a
challenging timescale, and without any additional funding or resourcing
provided by the Scottish Government;
2. welcomed the
high level of responses to the public consultation, and recognised that many of
the issues raised had been incorporated into the final licensing regime;
3. approved the
Short-term Let Licensing Regime, Licensing Policy, additional conditions and
fee and charges as set out in sections 5.4 and 5.6 of the submitted report;
4. noted the
initial focus on “new hosts” initially until additional staff resources are in
place; and
5. agreed to
amend the Council’s Scheme of Delegation to delegate responsibility for the
Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982 (Licensing of Short-term Lets) Order 2022
to the Executive Director with responsibility for Regulatory Services, to
enable the Council’s Environmental Health Service to authorise officers to
deliver the Short-term Let licensing regime.
