Gwynedd second homes group lose Article 4 Direction review bid

John Brynmor Hughes, an independent councillor for Abersoch and Llanengan ward, said he was aware of the group’s latest setback.

He opposed Article 4 and said there had been a downturn in local trade since its introduction.

“I was talking to a takeaway owner earlier today and business is down,” he said.

“People who come here now are saying: ‘Well if they don’t want us, why should we support them?’

“Every business here in Abersoch is seeing a downturn.”

Cyngor Gwynedd said it was aware of the judge’s decision, adding that the buying of houses to use as holiday lets and second homes had pushed prices up higher than locals could afford, while also reducing the number of properties available.

Eryri National Park is also looking to introduce Article 4 in June 2025, applicable to the areas of Gwynedd and Conwy counties where it is in charge of planning.
