A housing commission writes to ministers asking them to enforce new measures on holiday lets in Devon.
Commissioners wrote to Michael Gove, Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, and Lucy Frazer, Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, calling for them to enable councils to "limit growth of short-term lets" by private landlords or companies.
The commission also said it recognised the power government had given to local authorities to increase council tax on second homes by up to 100%, but recommended councils "ring fence the extra revenue" for "meeting the housing shortages that second homes can exacerbate".
