Data on holiday lets and second homes in the council area.

25 January 2022

Your request

1) The number of properties notified to the council as being holiday lets as of 1st November 2021, 1st November 2020, 1st November 2019 and 1st November 2018

2) The number of properties notified to the council as being a 'second home' as of 1st November 2021, 1st November 2020, 1st November 2019 and 1st November 2018

3) The total number of residential properties in the council area as of 1st November 2021, 1st November 2020, 1st November 2019 and 1st November 2018. Please advise if this figure does or does not include holiday lets.

If that exact date is not possible, please provide a figure for as close a date to it as you hold. By ‘notified to the council’ I just mean properties which you have recorded as holiday lets or second homes.

Our response

Please note Q1. Holiday lets are not declared to or recorded by the Council Tax Department. Q3 will therefore include any properties within the Borough used for holiday lets.
