Epping Forest District Council (EFDC) was granted a temporary injunction to stop asylum seekers from being housed at the accommodation – but this was overturned on Friday after legal challenges from the Home Office and the hotel’s owner, Somani Hotels.

The council has now said “no reasons were given” after its application for permission to appeal the most recent judgment was denied.

A statement on its website said: “It is now open for the council to ask the Supreme Court itself for permission to appeal against the judgment of the Court of Appeal.

“The council has consistently opposed the use of The Bell Hotel to place asylum-seekers, which is in breach of planning control and is against the interests of those living in, working in and using the area.”
