Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether she has received representations from local authorities on the ability of those authorities to refuse leaseholders from engaging in a change-of-use of a site from holiday to asylum accommodation, in the context of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.

The Home Office, and wider government, works closely with Local Authorities to discuss proposed accommodation sites in their area. Each potential site will have its own property and planning requirements which must be complied with, this will depend on the site.
