And the difficulty with local authority enforcement is that has already been tried through planning enforcement and it has failed because you have to be able to prove in a court the property was occupied for a set number of nights.
And therefore, I would urge the government not only to publish the planning regulations and subject them to rock to scrutiny, get the legislation in line,
