flag A campaign urges stricter rules on holiday lets in the Lake District to combat housing shortages and depopulation.

flag A campaign by Friends of the Lake District is pushing for stricter rules on holiday lets and second homes in the national park, citing that 92% of current short-term rentals could be permanent homes. flag The group says unchecked growth of holiday lets fuels housing shortages, depopulation, and strain on local services, urging mandatory registration, new planning rules for conversions, and tax changes to discourage second-home ownership. flag The Lake District National Park Authority supports these measures, calling for a national registration system and trials of new rules to balance tourism with community needs.
