Homes Before Holidays in Falmouth!

HOMES BEFORE HOLIDAYS! 

Over the last few decades renting and home ownership has become increasingly unsustainable in Cornwall. High demand for second homes and holiday lets have priced locals out of their communities and decimated towns and villages.

ACORN Falmouth and Penryn demands that Falmouth Town Council introduce a special order of planning permission to restrict and regulate the ownership and construction of second homes and holiday lets.

Please sign our petition today so we can make sure Cornwall Council start putting Homes Before Holidays!

Dear Olly Monk, Portfolio Holder for Housing and Planning at Cornwall Council, 

We, the undersigned, believe that Homes should be put before Holidays in Falmouth. 

We demand that the following measures be put in place to reduce the impact that second homes and short-term holiday lets are having on the affordability and availability of housing in Falmouth: 

- The creation of an added planning permission class order for second homes and holiday lets in Falmouth.

- Permission from Falmouth Town Council must be granted for both new build properties and existing primary residencies being used as second homes or holiday lets.

- An added clause that requires evidence of a minimum of 3 years residence in Cornwall in order to build or convert a property into a second home or holiday let.
