General Scheme of the Short-Term Letting and Tourism Bill 2025: Discussion

Ms Sarah Cronin-Falvey:
I have a couple of examples of those. I manage holiday homes for people who own them. One, for example, is a beautiful house inherited by the owners. They have renovated and improved it. They use it themselves two to three months per year. When they are not using it, it is made available to guests. They will not register. They will not apply to change the use of their house because it is not changing. It is the house they use for their holidays and make available to guests when they are not using it. They will not apply for planning permission to change use. It is not going to happen.
