RAF Scampton is set to house 2,000 migrants under Home Office plans.
A district council has barred the Home Office from carrying out any work to turn a former RAF base into an accommodation site for migrants, accusing it of carrying out work that has not been assessed.
The notices mean the Home Office must stop using the site as accommodation for asylum seekers, cease works related to Portakabins, stop all intrusive groundworks and restore the site to its original condition.Sally Grindrod-Smith, director of planning regeneration and communities at the council, said it was “clear” from the works taking place on the site that the Home Office intended to use the site for more than 12 months.
The move follows a temporary stop notice being issued to the Home Office on September 8, related to listed buildings and archaeology on the site, after the council deemed there had been a breach of planning controls. Councillor Trevor Young, leader of the council, said: “From the moment the decision to use RAF Scampton as an asylum accommodation centre was made, the council have been clear that this is not an appropriate site for this purpose.“It is incredibly disappointing that despite repeated assurances that the site would be safe, legal and compliant, the Home Office has failed to secure appropriate planning permission or to adequately assess the impact of their proposals.
