Authorities in the Yorkshire Dales have proposed a plan to ban the building of second and holiday homes in its villages to uplift rural communities and counteract overtourism.
The Yorkshire Dales attract a large amount of tourists to its natural wonders and beauty spots, from hikers who take on the crags and woodlands to those seeking a short break in the countryside. However, the new housing market plan hopes to consolidate its economy to provide more opportunities to permanent residents.
