Who Owns England?

You pay less on a second home than the person next door. The "logic" is you are using less "services" but then that's not land value tax. You are occupying the land, there is an opportunity cost, you should pay full whack.

The UK is a total nightmare for this and the education level is very low especially in economics so any mention of it is met with "it's me house".

I paid more on my second home (for the 2 months I had one...) as the council only offered a single person discount on one's primary residence.

The Second Homes section of https://www.sheffield.gov.uk/home/council-tax/council-tax-di... describes the applicable rules in this case.
