A local councillor has asked Alison Hume if she backs the plan.
Councillor Phil Trumper is concerned that properties- particularly in the town centre- are being bought up as second homes and holiday lets.
He asked Alison Hume if she backs the primary residency scheme, this was her response:
As well as potentially leading to a fall in the number of new homes being built in the area there are also concerns that introducing a primary residence Scheme in the Scarborough Borough could reduce local house prices.
Many national parks run similar, but more far reaching local occupancy schemes, where houses can only be sold to people who reside in the park.
