The Home Office said the asylum seekers would be moved out of RAF Wethersfield as they transform the site into long term accommodation
Dozens of migrants have been moved to hotels amid claims accommodation at the former RAF base was unsuitable for them are being moved out of the Government’s flagship new accommodation site, which was designed to reduce the number of people housed in hotels, and back into hotels., which was converted to asylum accommodation last year in order to crack down on the amount of money being spent on housing asylum seekers.
Home Office sources insisted that the move was temporary as the department works to fulfil the terms of a Special Development Order , which would enable it to use Wethersfield as asylum accommodation long term.An SDO is a form of secondary legislation that grants planning permission for specific kinds of development in a particular area.
Previous permissions allowed RAF Wethersfield to be used as an asylum accommodation site until April 2024, but new planning permission allow for three years with an additional 6 months for decommissioning.an ambulance was called to the site an average of once a dayAlthough the report dates back to 2005, neither the MoD or the Home Office have carried out any decontamination work at the site since the concerns were first raised.
Asylum seekers living at Wethersfield have also complained of being isolated. The 800-acre site, surrounded by barbed wire, is located two miles from the nearest village, Wethersfield, though limited mini-bus services run to neighbouring towns such as Braintree and Chelmsford.A Home Office spokesperson said: “We have always been clear that the use of asylum hotels is unacceptable which is why we moved asylum seekers on to former military sites, thereby reducing the impact on local communities.
“Planning permission has been granted to extend the use of Wethersfield for three years under a Special Development Order and we will be using a phased approach to gradually increase the number of asylum seekers accommodated at the site.”
