P-04-599 Impact of Domestic Rating on Self Catering Accommodation – Petitioner to Committee, 10.09.15

Dear Kayleigh

I really can’t believe the attitude and angle of the Welsh Assembly on Self Catering Cottages. There still seems to be very little help and after agreeing that the policy at the moment is wrong. I have shown as a business that we have acted honestly and run our business properly. Even when I went to my hearing I have in writing that I had a good claim, but it was not their place to say anything. So what did I go to the hearing for? Surely if you can prove that you run the business properly, this should all be taken into account. 

This letter from Edwina Heart, if I understand it, I believe does not help us at all. The Welsh assembly for honest businesses who have a good case should be listened to and taken back retrospectively. Also why have the Welsh assembly only looked at businesses with 2 or more Cottages. What is this about? This does not help us or other businesses with one cottage.

Best Regards

Chris Harris
