It has already lost a High Court battle and says that cost has had to be met by taxpayers.
A council has withdrawn proposed legal challenges over Home Office plans to house asylum seekers at a former RAF base.
It lost a High Court battle in December when judge Mrs Justice Thornton ruled that the decision to house asylum seekers at the bases was lawful. In a statement, the council said on Thursday that it would also withdraw its own legal challenge, claiming it was "no longer expedient". Graham Butland, leader of Braintree District Council, said: "We've stated since day one that we do not agree with the approach the Government has taken by using the site for large-scale asylum accommodation, and bypassing us as the local planning authority to grant itself permission, which meant the opportunity for communities' voices to be heard was lost.
