Amendment to limit open market guests
FURTHER restrictions as to who can occupy open market family homes could be introduced, if deputies back an amendment.
Castel deputy Mark Dorey, who is proposing it, said open market dwellings should not be used to house non-local permanent paying guests, who ultimately increase the population.
The amendment is to the Policy Council's population management report, which will be debated at this week's States meeting. It has been seconded by Deputy Barry Brehaut.
Deputy Dorey, pictured, said his amendment applied to the 1,597 open market Part A private dwellings. He said it would mean that private dwellings in the open market would be able to have two lodgers who can occupy local market houses, but would not be able to have lodgers who can only occupy open market houses.
The current proposal is that private dwellings in the open market would not have a limit on lodgers who could occupy local market houses and would also allow one who could only occupy an open market house.
