Keeping Lake District homes in local hands

11/7/2024

 
A “breakthrough” planning restriction developed by a Cumbrian housing trust could enable homeowners in the Lake District and beyond to ensure their home remains occupied by people living locally forever.
​
Lakeland Housing Trust has spent the last two years working with solicitors, a barrister and Lake District National Park Authority planners to develop a restriction which people can choose to register with the Land Registry against the title of their property.
​

The restriction, technically known as a Section 106 Unilateral Undertaking, will be registered in the Land Charges register against the property, meaning their home can only ever be used as a principal residence or as a rental property with a 12-month minimum term and not as a second home, holiday let or Airbnb.
