Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the short term let accommodation on the living conditions of nearby residents by reason of noise and disturbance and anti-social behaviour

What decided it

The recorded pattern of anti-social behaviour including loud music, swearing, screaming, verbal abuse, altercations and drug/alcohol misuse by guests, combined with the substantially greater potential for disturbance from groups of up to 13 people regularly congregating at weekends, demonstrated that the mitigation measures in place were insufficient and the use caused unacceptable harm to neighbouring residential amenity.
