A council in north Wales rejects an attempt to overturn a planning rule affecting a 16-home “turnkey” housing estate on Anglesey that has been left empty for around two years. The Daily Mail reports that the construction firm behind the development applied to change the rule after it was decided that 37 local families cannot move in because the homes can only be used as holiday homes. Under the planning restriction, the properties are treated as short-term holiday accommodation rather than permanent residential housing, preventing the families from occupying the dwellings. The council rejects the firm’s application to overturn the condition, according to the report. The construction company is said to be able to appeal to the Welsh government following the local authority’s decision. No additional details are provided in the available accounts about the council’s reasoning or any planned next steps beyond the possibility of a higher-level appeal.
