The owner of an Airbnb flat off Byres Road has lost an appeal against a council order to stop letting the property.
Glasgow City Council ruled a basement flat on Dowanside Road could no longer be used as short stay accommodation as it did not have planning permission and is within a residential tenement.
One neighbour said the “free access of complete strangers to our private close” was a safety concern. However, the owner, James Stewart Clegg, appealed to Scottish Ministers, claiming a separate entrance “negates any anxiety of increased footfall in the communal close”.
