A legal definition relating to 14 days has been inserted, which is quite unusual. In London or Barcelona, 60 days, 90 days or 40 days is used. We have a 90-day rule under which planning permission is required regardless of whether it is a person's principle private residence that is involved. In the context of any short-term letting, I am trying to work out, in circumstances where someone gets planning permission - regardless of whether it is a principle private residence or a second property - if the impact of the 14-day definition is restrictive in terms of letting out that property to the same guest for more than 14 days.
