12.     Notice of Motion

          (a)     Moved by Councillor Bob Shields, seconded by Councillor George Weir:

                   "As Members will be aware, in recent years, as a Ward Councillor, have received a considerable number of complaints from residents of the flats in the Ayr Harbour area who live in single entry flatted dwellings about the impact of Short Term Lets on their community. These complaints reference noise, litter, parking issues, and anti-social behaviour

Consequently, I am requesting that Council supports this Motion that the Chief Executive requests relevant officers in the Planning Service and Short Term Lets Licensing Team to bring forward a joint report to Council within 6 months of todays date that provides details of any options for policies which could be considered by Council to address the issues raised by these residents. The report would include and address the option for the development of any appropriate planning guidance, and/or the steps that would require to be taken by planning officers for the creation of designated short term control area(s)."
