On today's Call You and Yours, we're asking - what's the impact of second homes in your area?
The Government is thinking of making second home-owners apply for planning permission if they want to convert their properties into holiday lets.
Michael Gove, the Secretary of State for Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, says it'll help people avoid being pushed out of their areas by short-term holiday lets.
We'd like to know how second home ownership is affecting where you live. Are you finding it hard to rent or to buy? Are you worried about what will happen when your children have to move out of home? Maybe you run a business in a place where there are a lot of second homes?
If you own a second home or run a holiday let, would you be willing to pay more in council tax or other charges to help find the right balance for both local people and tourism to the area?
Call us now on 03700 100 444. Lines are open at 11 am on Tuesday April 18th. You can also email us youandyours@bbc.co.uk.
Don't forget to include a phone number so we can call you back.
