A controversial property in Aysgarth is sparking a debate over local residency rules

A controversial property in Aysgarth is sparking a debate over local residency rules. A four-bedroom house built in the car park of the George and Dragon pub sold for £263,000 at auction last week—despite a starting guide price of just £19,000. The low initial price was due to a Section 106 agreement requiring the occupants to work in the village pub. However, with the pub currently closed, local councillors are calling on the National Park Authority to strictly enforce the restriction to prevent the home from becoming an unrestricted holiday let.
