A Bill to introduce a requirement for a grant of planning permission to change a residential home to a short-term let in England; and for connected purposes.
This Bill would require anyone who wants to turn a residential home into a short-term letting in England to obtain planning permission before making the change. It gives local councils control over where such conversions can take place, with the aim of protecting long‑term housing supply and ensuring neighbourhoods are considered. It covers England and is framed as a planning measure with related provisions.
The Bill is currently at its second reading in the House of Commons. If it progresses, it would move to the committee stage for detailed examination.
