Short-term flat let at 161 Castlemilk Road, Rutherglen

“Description of Proposed Development 3.1. The proposal relates to the change of use of a flatted dwelling to a short-term let. No external changes or other development is proposed. The applicant has provided a supporting statement in relation to the proposed short-term accommodation use.”

“Site Description 2.1. The application site relates to an upper-floor ‘cottage flat’ at 161 Castlemilk Road, Rutherglen within a ‘four-in-a-block’ building. The property is accessed by a pathway, bounded by hedging delineating the front of the site from the streetscape.”

“The site is shared with the adjacent flatted dwelling at 163 Castlemilk Road; though both have their own private entrance doors, sited respectively on the principal and side elevations.”

“Importantly, the property has its own entrance door, helping to reduce, in part, the likelihood of any negative effects on the amenity of neighbouring properties. Overall, the proposed change of use, compared to standard occupancy, is not expected to result in any significant negative impacts.”

“Conclusion It is therefore considered that the proposal would not result in a significant adverse impact on either visual or residential amenity. The proposal accords with the provisions of Policies 1, 2, 23 and 30 of the adopted National Planning Framework 4 and Policies 3, 5, 6 and VET2 of the adopted Local Development Plan 2.”
