Short Term Let control areas

Control Areas in Highland

If your property is located within a designated Short-Term Let (STL) control area, you may need planning permission before applying for a licence.

If you are not sure whether you need planning permission, you can submit a development enquiry.

This service offers informal advice only. It does not have legal standing and cannot serve as proof that planning permission is not required.
