Date of meeting 16 June 2022

 

Agenda Item 13

 

 


 

Labour Group Amendment

 

Second Homes and Implementation of Primary Residence Policy

That the relevant changes are made to the recommendations as shown below in strikethrough and bold italics:

2.1 That Committee notes the policy option analysis in paragraphs 3.18 – 3.22 and the recommendation for a combination of Options 2 and 3 for further consideration during the city plan review, as well as the possibility of a citywide Principal Residence Policy. All options will remain under investigation subject to the results of the 2021 Census and further analysis of up-to-date statistics.

2.2 That Committee further notes that the Notice of Motion as passed at Full Council intended the Principal Residence Policy to cover all buyers purchasing properties in new developments specifically as holiday or 2nd homes and that the 15%-20% threshold discussed should therefore include these figures.

2.3 That Committee agrees to officers undertaking further actions set out in the report at paragraphs 3.8 in terms of further research and analysis as part of the City Plan Part 1 Review.

Proposed by: Cllr Evans                                                 Seconded by: Cllr Grimshaw
