Overall, the analysis of costs and benefits has determined there would be a net cost in moving to a negative licensing regime. While some benefits would
accrue to short stay letting and home hosted accommodation operators, these are offset by higher fines for non-compliance. Other stakeholder groups
would be negatively impacted as a result of loss of Council power to set site specific conditions.
