...for their action on second homes.
Once North Cornwall DC has gone, will the UA behave so positively towards Cornwall's population across the whole Duchy?

Try this .gif) reality check instead,Flamm...
Here is the latest bit of irresponsible 'Servile Second Homery Injustice Subsidising & Propping Up At The Expense of The Residential Communities of Cornwall and Cornwall's Environment' to emanate from a supine District Council of Cornwall.
'Responding to Gordon Brown's call for more publicly owned land to be used for affordable housing, North Cornwall District Council says that it has already made it a priority to develop land in its ownership wherever possible.
Commenting, Councillor Graham Facks-Martin, Chairman of NCDC, said
"increasing the delivery of affordable housing in the council's highest
priority and we are constantly looking at all the land that we own and
bringing forward sites with potential. These include the major scheme
underway at Broadclose, Bude, which includes 114 affordable homes,
currently the largest on a single site anywhere in Cornwall, another
current development of 13 affordable homes on part of the car park at
Race Hill, Launceston and the recently started scheme for 14 affordab
homes at Green Lane, Bodmin."
The Council has a proven track record of enabling affordable housing on
its own land and last year 41 of the 105 affordable homes completed in
North Cornwall were on Council land, including the recently completed
scheme of 10 affordable homes for rent at Penmead, Delabole
A rural development of seven homes for rent at Egloskerry is just about
to start, in partnership with Ocean Housing. In addition the Council is
currently working with Housing Association partners to bring forward
schemes on Council land at Blisland, Cardinham, Marchamchurch, St.
Breward, St. Merryn, and Wadebridge. The Council is also currently
completing the sale of land at Priory Road, Bodmin, which is expected to
deliver a further 90 additional affordable houses as part of a bigger
private sector led housing development.
"I would endorse the Prime Minister's call for other public bodies to
release suitable land" added Councillor Facks-Martin "which can only be
helpful in delivering much needed affordable housing. Last year the
Council facilitated the sale of the former East Cornwall Hospital to
Devon and Cornwall Housing Association and we need to see more of this
type of co-operation in tackling something which we have long seen as a
key issue for our area and is now clearly high on the national agenda."
Fact 1 - In Cornwall as a whole there are over 15,000 residential houses misappropriated and misused by non-residents for taking holidays.
Fact 2 - Across Cornwall there are circa 5,000 houses standing empty and unoccupied.
Fact 3 - Over 20,000 residential houses in Cornwall are therefore NOT being used for their proper residential purpose.
Fact 4 - There is therefore abundant EXISTING residential housing stock in Cornwall already to meet Cornwall's internally generated housing needs.
Fact 5 - There is therefore NO shortfall of residential housing in Cornwall.
Fact 6 - Currently, Allowanced Elected District Councillors AND salaried District Council Planning Officers, Officials and Executives have a DIRECT PECUNIARY INTEREST in and derive DIRECT FINANCIAL BENEFIT from EVERY planning approval AND from ALL UNSUSTAINABLE OVERDEVELOPMENT.They should ALL be required to declare and disclose that DIRECT PECUNIARY INTEREST before making reckless earth suffocating and surface water flood exacerbating pronouncements like those of Mr Facks-Martin above.
Fact 7 - Across the UK as a whole there are circa 1 MILLION EMPTY HOUSES.
Fact 7 - Immediately implementing Central Government SINGLE HOUSE/HOUSEHOLD incentivisation fiscal policies would solve the lack of availability of and restore the plentiful supply of residential housing to proper residential usage far more quickly than piecemeal and grossly unnecessary housing duplication to satisfy and prop up the desires of affluent, avaricious, anti-social and anti-environmental Steppenwolfs who seek to indulge and propagate the absurdist fantasy that it is somehow possible to own 2 or more houses simultaneously and call them all 'homes'.And who also demand that everyone else and the environment subsidise their environmentally unsustainable appetite and greed.

I know that there are empty homes and that numerically we don't need more. However, there is little sign of the government changing the law to make them available to local people, so the changes made by NCDC are a step in the right direction while we wait for a change of heart at Westminster. And don't think that getting Labour out will make any difference, the Tories will be as bad in this specific regard, if not worse.

In the best interests of Cornwall,her environment and communities and to save her from the profiteering plastering parasites from the great beyond,ALL the District Councils and Cornwall 'C*****(expletive deleted)' Council should be REFUSING to implement central government and SWRDA gross OVERDEVELOPMENT programmes and DEMAND that the EXISTING and ABUNDANT residential housing stock be properly used for RESIDENTIAL PURPOSES.
The existing RESIDENTIAL housing stock is MORE THAN ADEQUATE to provide for Cornwall's internally driven demographic needs.
ALL THE DISTRICT COUNCILS AND CORNWALL 'C*****(expletive deleted)' COUNCIL SHOULD BE CALLING FOR A HOUSE BUILDING EMBARGO AND THE IMPLEMENTATION OF RATIONAL POLICIES THAT LEAD TO THE PROPER AND RESPONSIBLE USE OF EXISTING RESIDENTIAL HOUSING RESOURCES FOR RESIDENTIAL PURPOSES.

"Shouting" (capitals) really doesn't make your point any better, nor does a bold font or purple colouring.
The Councils probably cannot legally do what you are suggesting.

There,Flamm.
A halfway house...
TK like lucky lilac.
