Short-term Let licensing policy review

Closes 12 Sep 2025

Opened 1 Aug 2025

Results expected 3 Oct 2025

Overview

East Lothian Council is starting the process of reviewing its Short-term Let licensing policy.  The policy sets out how the licensing authority considers and determines applications for short-term let licenses.  The policy also details the expectations the authority has of licence holders in operating their premises.

East Lothian Council has agreed to review the policy every three years.

Why your views matter

As a relatively new licensing regime, East Lothian Council is inviting you to contribute to any amendments you feel would enhance the current policy and is keen to receive a wide range of responses.  The results of this consultation (on the existing policy) will help to shape any changes.
