Liberal Democrat — Westmorland and Lonsdale

Speaking in the House of Commons on 9 December 2024

Debate

Planning Committees: Reform

Contribution

The reform represents a loss of control when local communities such as mine in the lakes and the dales are desperate for more control. With over 90% of the homes in some of our villages being second homes, we are crying out for the Minister to bring in a change of use for planning for second homes so that we can limit the numbers in those communities. Will he look at doing that in the coming days?
