Vale of Glamorgan Council is seeking the views of local residents as it considers hiking the council tax cost of long term empty homes and second homes.

Legislative changes mean that from 1 April 2023 councils will be able to charge a premium of up to 300% on second homes and long-term empty properties.

Each council can choose how it acts when considering the level of charge to apply to empty properties.

A statement from the Vale Council says: "We want to hear your views on how we should respond to the change in legislation that increases the premium we can apply on second homes or long-term empty properties.

"If you want to share your views, please respond to this survey by 6 January 2023.

"We will use your answers to inform how we apply our discretion in relation to second homes and long-term empty properties within the Vale of Glamorgan."
