Short-Term Lets: Licensing Order
Information on proposed Short Term Licensing Scheme Across Scotland. This letter was originally published by the Scottish Tourism Alliance.
The letter from Shona Robison states,
‘We now intend to publish the Licensing Order in draft in June for a final round of consultation and to lay the Order in September. Licensing authorities will now have until 1 October 2022 to establish a licensing scheme, giving them one year from sight of the instrument as laid to do so. However, the later deadlines set out in the legislation including, in particular, the final deadline of 1 April 2024 for all short-term lets to be licensed, are unchanged. In the rest of this letter, I set out the reasons for taking this approach.’
