some streets in towns like Durham are now over 50% empty & boarded up, as no-one will risk taking on a 3 bed property because of the legislation on spare rooms, and caps.

Obviously the councils are still offering 2/3 bedroom properties to people. and obviously if you take them you're subject to pay tax on the surplus bedrooms.
so obviously they can't afford to. so obviously don't accept them. so obviously they remain empty.
so obviously they're not getting any income on the empty properties.
Who didn't see that coming?
