We call on Cyngor Gwynedd to cancel the Article 4 Direction plan. (See Welsh version below)

What Article 4 Direction means for property owners -At present, owners can change between specific use classes without the need for planning permission. However, in order to control the use of houses, planning authorities can now modify the planning system locally in their area through the introduction of an Article 4 Direction.

If the Article 4 Direction is confirmed, and you own a residential dwelling (which is a main home) within the Gwynedd Local Planning Authority Area and wish to change the use to a second home, short term holiday let or specific mixed use, you will be required to obtain planning consent from Cyngor Gwynedd Local Planning Authority before undertaking the change of use after September 2024. Please review this link at the council website to further understand Article 4. You can and should review the justification papers here -https://www.gwynedd.llyw.cymru/en/Residents/Planning-and-building-control/Planning/Article-4-Direction.aspx

The council has no moral right and should have no legal right to dictate how a privately owned, bought and paid for dwelling property can be used in a free and open society (unless the council actually owned the property). This proposal, should it be enacted will be detrimental toALL property owners in Gwynedd.For those that agree with our position against Article 4 you can join us here:https://www.facebook.com/groups/gwyneddaa4

The council is gambling with local people’s lives and finances. This will damage the prosperity and futures of every permanent resident (household and its occupants) risking loss of jobs and the local economy. Article 4 is a direct attack on the goals and dreams of all individuals and represents an overreach of power by Gwynedd Council. Gwynedd is the test, a pilot scheme. If this is allowed to happen here, this could happen in other tourist areas in Wales. You do not have to be from Gwynedd to support those of us standing against Article 4. If you are from other areas in Wales, this may impact you in the future, please show your support by signing this petition.Key points to the negative impact of Article 4 Direction -- The Article 4 Direction is going to have a negative impact on local communities and Welsh (and non-Welsh) main home residents- It is going to reduce the home valuations of local residents and have a significant negative impact on their finances- This is going to result in further hardship and poverty with local residents less likely to be able to remortgage and not having sufficient equity in their homes- Those close to retirement will be particularly hard hit and it will not help younger main residents get on the housing ladder- It will negatively impact tourism, a significant source of income for the area, pushing the area into further financial difficulty- The Council are not exploring sufficiently other alternatives which is dangerous as this is a policy that once implemented is likely to be irrecoverable- It will create a 2 tier housing market, with second homes and holiday letsattracting a premium, and punishing local home owners at the same time- Manipulation of the housing market will not change the current housing market challenges if there is no viable or sustainable income for locals to be able to pay rent or mortgage- Reduction in opportunities for people who use the Welsh Language and status of Welsh Language in the community as the change is likely to drive out those who use the Welsh language to areas where they can engage in a free property market without restriction

- Those who speak the Welsh language and are home owners are more likely to suffer financially as a result of the restrictions on property use and how this affects property valuations and mortgage rates- The negative impact on tourism will result in less jobs and employmentopportunities for those who speak the Welsh Language.- There are alternatives such as promoting business growth, subsidizing local businesses, provision of housing grants and allowing development that actively would promote the use of Welsh language by providing opportunities for Welsh speakers, rather than a policy that penalises them- It is contrary to Article 8 of the human rights actWelsh -
