A judicial review into a decision to house asylum seekers at an army camp in Crowborough will not be allowed to continue, a High Court judge has ruled.
More than 500 male asylum seekers are currently set to be housed at the disused East Sussex camp under Home Office plans announced last year.
A judge at the Royal Courts of Justice ruled earlier that the review brought by the Crowborough Shield residents’ group could not proceed, after a hearing on the challenge on Wednesday.

The plans have previously sparked protests in the town, with the first 27 asylum seekers arriving at the camp in January.
