The meeting began with the appointment of Councillor Osler as the convener. The main topics discussed included a retrospective application for a short-term let at 102 Macleod Street, a roof extension at 128 Charterhall Road, and several other planning applications. The decisions made were based on the impact on residential amenity, conservation areas, and compliance with local development plans.

102 Macleod Street Short-Term Let

The application was for a retrospective change of use from residential to a short-term let for 250 nights per year. The property is a one-bedroom, third-floor flat in a predominantly residential area with some commercial uses nearby. The key issues discussed included the potential for increased noise and disturbance, the loss of residential accommodation, and the economic benefits of tourism. The application was refused due to concerns about the impact on residential amenity and the loss of housing.

128 Charterhall Road Roof Extension

The proposal was for a roof extension and a roof terrace on a mid-terrace property. The key issues were the visual impact on the conservation area and the potential for overlooking and noise. The committee was divided, but the application was ultimately refused due to concerns about the roof terrace's impact on the character of the area.

15 Coalbridge Millside Short-Term Let

This application was also for a retrospective change of use from residential to a short-term let. The property is a two-bedroom flat in a predominantly residential area. The key issues were similar to those discussed for 102 Macleod Street, including noise, disturbance, and the loss of residential accommodation. The application was refused.

9 Dewar Place Lane Short-Term Let

The application was for a change of use from residential to a short-term let for a maximum of 10 months per year. The property is a three-storey townhouse in a mixed-use area. The key issues included the impact on residential amenity and the loss of housing. The application was refused due to concerns about the loss of residential accommodation.

43 Jamaica Street South Lane Short-Term Let

This application was for a retrospective change of use from residential to a short-term let. The property is a one-bedroom flat in a predominantly residential area. The key issues were the impact on residential amenity and the loss of housing. The application was refused.

3 London Road Pergola and Stores

The application was for a retrospective pergola and two stores at a café. The key issues were the visual impact on the conservation area and the appropriateness of the materials used. The committee was divided, but the application was ultimately approved, overturning the officer's recommendation.

36 South Oswald Road Extension

The proposal was for a rear extension, garage conversion, and other alterations to a listed building. The key issue was the impact on mature trees on the site. The committee decided to continue the application to seek additional information on the construction method and its impact on the trees.
