When will the draft LPP4.1 become a seriously entertained document?
Once the consultation period has concluded, draft LPP4.1 will be considered 'seriously entertained' and will be given due regard in the consideration of any development applications received.
Can I still apply for Unhosted Short-term Rental Accommodation if I am in a proposed non-preferred area?
Yes. However any applications for new Unhosted Short-Term Rental Accommodation (STRA) in a non- preferred area will be considered against the provisions of draft LPP4.1 and are unlikely to be supported.
Where can I find out further information on the changes to Unhosted Short-term Rental Accommodation?
Further information is available on the City’s website here.
Will the draft LPP4.1 – Unhosted Short-Term Rental Accommodation be applied retrospectively?
No. Any approved “Holiday Homes” will be able to continue to operate in accordance with their approval. However, should that approval be discontinued for a period of 12 months, a new application will be required to be made to the City and will be assessed under the provisions of the draft LPP4.1 if adopted.
