answer text <p>Under section 25B of the of the Greater London Council (General Powers) Act 1973, a local authority can seek Secretary of State’s consent to issue a direction that the right to short-term let without planning permission for up to 90 nights in a year is not to apply to particular residential properties or to residential premises situated in a specified area. No London borough has sought a consent in the last year.</p><p>Directions may only be given if it is necessary to protect the amenity of the locality. This is likely to be where there has been successful action against a statutory nuisance related to short-term letting; or there has been successful enforcement action against a breach of section 25 or 25A of the 1973 Act. If residents consider there are circumstances that would meet the criteria this can be raised with the relevant Borough. These criteria for giving a Direction are set out in the Planning Practice Guidance on the Gov.UK website <a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/when-is-permission-required" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/guidance/when-is-permission-required</a> Paragraph: 111 Reference ID: 13-111-20160519.</p>
