New housing developments to be primary residences to minimise environmental harm

Petition Details

We call for a statutory requirement that all new housing quotas be allocated exclusively for primary residences, with restrictions preventing these homes from being sold or used as second homes for at least 25 years.

Additional Information

We believe limiting second homes could reduce unnecessary strain on the environment caused by developments that may serve no permanent, local need. We think this will encourage developers to build homes in areas with real employment opportunities, catering to genuine housing needs.

In our view, new housing quotas are meant to deliver homes for local communities, not for speculative investment or seasonal use. We believe our proposal will help protect our environment for future generations.
