Edinburgh City Council are currently processing nearly 100 live planning applications for short term lets in the city.
These are the first round of applications as the city prepares for the Council’s new Short Term Let Control area, set to start in the capital on September 5. The new legislation means that anyone who operates a short term let will have to put in a planning application to register the change of use of the property.
There are currently 92 live planning applications making their way through the council’s planning department. Eight of which are currently awaiting validation and 84 are currently being assessed or awaiting a decision following assessment.
