Gwynedd Council ’in Wales this week started a new regime using so-called Article 4 Direction powers. This requires owners to obtain planning permission before changing the use of a main home into a second home or short-term holiday accommodation. A spokesperson says: the council “wants to ensure that local people able to access suitable and affordable housing locally – that is key to securing the future of our communities.” They continue: “Unfortunately, research shows that a significant proportion of people in Gwynedd are priced out of the housing market and that is more evident in communities with higher numbers of holiday homes. “It is therefore inevitable that the significant number of houses being used as second homes and short-term holiday accommodation is affecting the ability of the people of Gwynedd to access homes in their communities. “By introducing an Article 4 Direction, the Council will have a new tool to try to control the impact of second homes and holiday accommodation. The change will require owners to submit a planning application for changing the use of residential properties into second homes or short-term holiday accommodation. “Following this decision, Gwynedd will become the first Planning Authority to use these new planning powers introduced by the Government. Detailed work has been carried out over the past year to set out the case for the change to be made and we are very grateful to everyone who took part during the public engagement period.” Last year the Welsh Government introduced changes to the planning framework, giving local authorities power to manage future numbers of second homes and Airbnb-style short-term holiday lets. Changes to the national planning framework have seen the introduction of three new classes of use, namely: main home, second home and short-term accommodation.

As we wrap up another week, let’s take a moment to celebrate our wins, big or small, I want to hear about it in the comments below! 👇

Deputy Prime Minister and Housing Secretary Angela Rayner outlined the Government’s plans to build £1.5m homes over the next five years. The new targets will mean councils must boost housebuilding in areas most in need. Currently just a third of councils have a plan that is under five years old, the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government said, Rayner has written to every council leader and chief executive in England to make clear that there is “not just a professional responsibility but a moral obligation to see more homes built”, and that she will not hesitate to use her powers of intervention should it be necessary – including taking over an authority’s plan making directly. Reforms will make explicit that the default answer to brownfield development should be “yes.” Councils will also have to review their green belt land if needed to meet their own target, identifying and prioritising ‘grey belt’ land, which the Government has finally defined. A consultation on reforms to the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), released yesterday, defines the grey belt as land that makes “limited contribution” to green belt purposes. Land released in the green belt will be subject to the government’s ‘golden rules’, which make clear that development should deliver 50% affordable homes, increase access to green spaces and put the necessary infrastructure is in place, such as schools and GP surgeries. Commenting on the proposals, Simon Gerrard, managing director of Martyn Gerrard Estate Agent, said these are positive steps but more work is needed.
