Short Debate: Protecting community spaces: Taking back control

Inquiry into second homes: evidence session 7—landlords and community groups

Inquiry into second homes: evidence session 7—landlords and community groups

Inquiry into second homes: evidence session 6—second home owners
Okay. I think planning's been touched on a little. We're talking about building more houses and then there wouldn't be such an issue with availability. But would you agree that land supply is an issue in areas where people choose to live that are beautiful…
