Council planners say the work has breached planning conditions and must cease.

The Home Office has been ordered to stop work to convert a former RAF base into an asylum centre over concerns planning conditions have been breached.

The government plans to house up to 2,000 people at RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire, with the first 50 due to arrive at the site within weeks. After a site visit, West Lindsey District Council has now served an enforcement notice and a stop notice.It said the breach related to its listed buildings and archaeology at the site, which was once the home of 617 Squadron responsible for the Dambusters raids in 1943.

The council, which is the local planning authority, had raised concerns about the work taking place and first issued a temporary stop notice on 8 September.
