The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether the Planning Inspectorate has made appeal decisions on asylum accommodation in the last 12 months.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook

Planning appeals are not routinely categorised by whether an appeal features a decision on asylum accommodation. As such, it is not possible to confirm whether any appeals relating to this have been considered in the last 12 months in the time given.
