Short term let flat, Trinity Avenue (image: Glasgow City Council)

Councillors have paused a decision on whether to allow a short term let plan for a ground floor flat in a block property in the Cardonald area.
Concerns were expressed about whether people staying would have access to the ‘unkempt’ shared garden in Trinity Avenue. And two objectors raised issues regarding potential rubbish, anti-social behaviour and noise among other concerns.
Councillors decided to continue the planning appeal for the three bedroom flat over a lack of information at yesterday’s planning local review committee.
The short term let proposal for the three-bedroom flat was originally rejected by the council but applicant Chirag Barot launched an appeal, which came before the committee.
Councillors heard a management plan did not appear to have been submitted to the council for consideration.
In addition to pointing out the lack of a management plan, committee chair Ken Andrew added: “By some of the pictures we have seen it looks like the garden area is very unkempt and certainly not divided in any sensible way. I think there is a number of reasons why we should go ahead and make a decision.”
Councillor Jill Pidgeon called for the application to be continued, however, saying: ” I think there seems to be two or three missing bits of information – I would like to continue the case so all the information can be put in front of us.”
The majority of councillors voted to continue the planning appeal so more information could be provided.
Officials had previously turned down the application for a number of reasons including that the “introduction of the transitory nature of the short-stay accommodation to a mainstream residential property fails to provide high quality amenity to existing and new residents in the city and fails to respect the quality and character of the local built environment”.
Planners also believed that due to the proximity of the property’s front door and garden areas to neighbouring homes “and the transitory nature of the proposed development, the use of the dwelling house as short-stay accommodation is likely to raise unacceptable noise and activity issues”, which would be detrimental to neighbours.
