Hello Helen,
Firstly relating to SG10 this came into practical application & force across all of Glasgow on March 2018.
Its content relating to short-term lets clearly states the fact that is now NOT possible to rent out entire flats anywhere across the city ( without owners actually staying in the property itself at the time of the let taking place) without a formal change in planning consent for that property. This is a massive, massive change for the approx 500 -600 short stay lets in Glasgow. Many of these lets are run on a commercial basis by Glasgow based and other UK companies. Many, if not all of these companies are not informed of this change and are as yet unaware of this significant impact this policy change will have on their businesses.
Helen, although the policy planning detail change is contained in the document SG10 which you correctly posted a link to, that document namely SG10 and the detail contained within regarding planning. change is not advertised anywhere on any commercial, news website, industry website newspaper or council website. And certainly, nothing I can find anywhere outside of the SG10 document itself references planning consent now being required for short stay lets of entire flats across greater Glasgow. These properties are advertised on Airbnb, Booking.com, gumtree, Rightmove etc etcegarding
Helen both the separate links you posted above do not mention SG10 in any capacity. T
You should pay particulate notice to this statement held within section 4.16 SG10 " the change of use of properties to short-stay flats will be strongly resisted". That's, in my opinion, is another way of phrasing a blanket ban. You may, however, disagree with my appraisal of that phrase Helen.
