The reference to “Discourage the
ownership of second homes in the county” is referenced in the Plaid Cymru manifesto:
“We will prioritise action to discourage
the ownership of second homes in the county. Specifically
we will campaign for a change in the Planning Act to ensure that planning
permission will need to be obtained before converting a residential home
into a holiday home or holiday let. In accordance with the Co-operation
Agreement between Plaid Cymru and the Welsh Government we will support the
use of the planning, property and taxation systems
to tackle the problem.”
Members may wish to make a recommendation
to Cabinet to amend this step if required
