As if there wasn't already abundant evidence that the city of Edinburgh is applying a blanket ban on all existing self-catering operators who have been forced to apply for planning retrospectively... this is it. #SaveSC
Edinburgh’s STL planning process is now a de facto blanket ban.
2025 data:
❌ 81.4% refused
❌ 94.6% refused by committee
❌ 97.2% refused for residential-to-STL (excl. commercial)
Almost all approvals = office-to-apartment conversions.
The tiny number of residential approvals? Severe limits: 6 weeks/yr, 28-day minimums, or tied to current owner.
Next week’s Dev. Mgmt Sub-Committee agenda?
Another 33 refusals queued up.
A kangaroo court in action.
This is not fair, balanced policymaking – it’s predetermined economic harm. Edinburgh deserves better.

I think it's safe to say NO-ONE is happy with @Edinburgh_CC. BLANKET BANNING ALL STLS using the 'well it could be residential' trump card, then pretending they're not blanket banning so they can EXTORT money from local business owners through licencing! Heads should roll! Crooks!
Bring it on down @Edinburgh_CC - @oasis deserve an apology as does the self-catering industry!Both bringing in millions to the Scottish economy & treated like shit on their shoe.thank you @liamgallagher for calling the snakes out.When they unlawfully ban us, it will sting less😘
like coming home. @ShonDJProds @Summerhallery our last show of 2022. just as @hughhughes used to leave us feeling uplifted so does Shon, how bizarre.A fabulous reception from many loyal fans in the audience and hopefully many new ones too. Go see if you can at this top venue.
“Every show I make feels like another step” – EdFringe favourite Shôn Dale-Jones (@hughhughes) tells us about returning with Still Floating – his new show at @Summerhallery– as well as appearing with Belgian company Ontroerend Goed (@1OntroerendGoed) https://t.co/XitEfTpfXo
STILL FLOATING is the story of a floating island and how our feeling of home is simultaneously concrete and abstract, forever changing and constant - performed by Shôn Dale-Jones,”the great Welsh storyteller” @StagedoorLDN who performed Fringe First winning show,THE DUKE
@AirbnbHelp 2) and Airbnb have said something along the lines of “dear host and client something has gone amiss and you are both receiving a penalty free refund” nonsense. plans to support your hardworking hosts?
@AirbnbHelp 1) Sorry I think you missed that we are hosts. Where is our protection?
We’ve never cancelled anyone (bar one due to government restrictions and that took a four month battle to be reinstated) yet we have had guests play the credit card refund call twice recently at short notice
@eddiepepitone@k_simmons511 Excellent thank you. My wife is Welsh and we first saw this at edinburgh festival many many years ago. This Michael Sheen clip@is outstanding
