Backlash Against Second Homes Continues In The South West

MEVAGISSEY, Properties overlook the harbour in the village of Mevagissey which has submitted plans to limit the number of second homes on October 9, 2017 in Cornwall, England. The picturesque Cornish coastal fishing village has submitted plans to Cornwall Council to block outsiders buying new-builds to use as holiday homes in an attempt to give local first-time buyers better chances of getting on the property ladder rather than being outbid by wealthy second home owners. The village's Neighbourhood Development Plan has highlighted that currently twenty six per cent of the homes in Mevagissey are holiday homes with average prices, according to Rightmove, of £299,587, nearly £50,000 more than the Cornish average of £250,000, and 20 times the local average wage of £15,458. It also noted that although since 1930 the buildings in the village have more than doubled, the permanent population of Mevagissey has actually fallen over the last 200 years. If the plans are approved they will be returned to the village to be voted on in a referendum and will follow attempts by other communities in Cornwall which have introduced new-build bans including most notably St Ives.
