Operators and landlords took the City of Edinburgh Council to court over the policy for Airbnb-style properties in the city.
Glasgow has changed its policy on licences for Airbnb-style properties after parts of Edinburgh’s scheme were ruled “unlawful”.
He said: “I think it’s also very prudent that Glasgow is taking the opportunity not to go down the route that the City of Edinburgh Council did. Additions include the “occasional use of a flat as short-stay accommodation, which is otherwise a sole or main residence, is unlikely to constitute a material change of use” and “where a flat is being used frequently to provide short stay accommodation there is likely to be a material change of use”.
New hosts, who never operated prior to October 1, 2022, should note the council “may refuse to consider an application” where “it considers that the use of the premises as a STL would constitute a breach of planning control”. The policy states “only in exceptional circumstances” such as “where an applicant who has previously held a STL licence but has failed to submit a timeous renewal application” would “a temporary licence application be permitted”.
