Minutes:

Councillor Duncan Hounsell made a statement about local and national visitor accommodation policies.  A full copy of the statement is linked to the minutes. Councillor Kevin Guy asked how many large properties were currently being used for AirBnB in North East Somerset.  Councillor Hounsell responded that he understood there to be approximately 100 used in this way in Bath but did not have figures for North East Somerset as there was no registration scheme.  Councillor Liz Hardman asked if Councillor Hounsell was aware that the Labour group had taken a successful motion on short term lettings to Council in July 2018, which had received cross party support and suggested he revisit this to move this issue forward.  Councillor Hounsell thanked Councillor Hardman for bringing this to his attention and added that he wanted everyone to support the change in the Local Plan.

 

The Chair thanked Councillor Hounsell for his statement, which was referred to the relevant Cabinet member.
