Changes to planning law designed to curb "excessive" numbers of short-term lets put up for holiday accommodation have been put forward by ministers.
Under the proposals, councils will be given greater powers to control short-term lets by making them subject to the planning process.
A new mandatory national register, meanwhile, will provide local authorities a better overview of the short-term lets in their area to better understand their community impact.
The government, though, said it recognised short-term lets are now "a significant part of the UK’s visitor economy" providing "increased choice and flexibility" for tourists and business travellers.
