Highland-wide limit on Airbnb-style lets proposed

Highland-wide control zone proposed to limit Airbnb-style lets due to a shortage of homes with over 7,000 short-term let licenses granted in the Highlands. Councillors suggest implementing this measure to address the need for over 24,000 homes in the next decade. Highland Council officials mention additional costs and workload if the control zone is established while also highlighting potential challenges. City of Edinburgh Council set a precedent with the first short-term let control area, and Highland Council's approval in Badenoch and Strathspey faced mixed reactions.
