Short-term lets in Scotland’s capital will require planning permission, after the Scottish Government approved plans from the local authority.
A third of all short-term lets in Scotland can be found in Edinburgh and the city council moved earlier this year to limit numbers, unveiling plans for owners to apply for planning permission in order to change the use of the property from a residential home to a short-term let.
The Scottish Government has now approved the required changes in planning requirements which will see the entirety of the capital become a short-term let control area, after local authorities were given new powers last year.
