Addressing the Impact of Holiday Homes and Short-term Lets

That this Assembly recognises the impact that holiday homes and short-term lets have on several rural and coastal communities in Northern Ireland; notes with concern that the growth in holiday homes and short-term lets is contributing to rising house prices, reduces the availability of affordable housing and threatens the social fabric of many communities; and calls on the Executive to, as a matter of urgency, bring forward proposals to address the impact of holiday homes and short-term lets in areas where they are having a negative effect.
