Asylum hotel appeal: Home Office fights Epping injunction at Court of Appeal
Kieran Lockhart, Aug, 27 2025
The Home Office and the Bell Hotel’s owners will ask the Court of Appeal to overturn an injunction that ordered asylum seekers to be moved out of a hotel in Epping. The council says the hotel breached planning rules by changing use without permission. The case has sparked protests and may trigger similar legal actions elsewhere, putting pressure on an asylum system already housing 30,000 people in hotels.
