AirBnB-style short-term lets to require planning permission under new plan to ease housing crisis

New AirBnB-style short-term lets will require planning permission under plans designed to prevent the “hollowing out” of communities and ease the housing crisis.

Housing Secretary Michael Gove on Monday announced laws that would require people letting out their property as a short-term holiday home to seek permission from the local council under a new “use” category.
