Cockburn Response
Having reviewed this application we have concerns that it may be inconsistent with Policy Hous 7 (uses affecting residential amenity) in an area of known tourist pressure and negative impacts on the established long-term residential community.
If the council is minded to grant this application, we recommend only a temporary consent is granted with conditions requiring the monitoring of noise, smells, etc.
