Airbnb says it would welcome register for short-term lets in tourist hotspots but warns ‘balance must be struck’
People who convert homes into short-term holiday lets would require planning permission in tourist hotspots in England under government plans.
The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities has said it will consult on the change as well as whether to give owners the flexibility to let out their home for a maximum number of nights a year without the need for the permission.
