Issue details - Report of the Scrutiny Panel on Short Term Holiday Lets (Party Houses)

At Overview & Scrutiny Committee on 20 October 2014 Councillor Bowden, as the Chair of the scrutiny panel, introduced the report of a scrutiny panel which had been established to look at issues relating to ‘party houses’ – short term holiday lets targeting large groups such as stag and hen parties.
This is the formal response to those recommendations. While it would have been usual to have issued a formal response earlier in the municipal year, due to the end of the administrative term, it was decided that it would be more effective to postpone the response until the potential change in administration.
This response has since been to the Environment Transport and Sustainability Committee (13 October 2015 ) and Full Council October 2015
