Local Plan Review: Preferred Approach 2016-2035

Representation ID: 916

Received: 03/02/2019

What about a refusal to allow new homes to be sold to anyone not resident for the first year that said home is on sale? People should be able to have second homes but should not have them at the expense of those who have no home by artificially increasing the call for houses and thus their prices.
