Did seem a bit of an attempt at a gotcha, which the courts don’t generally like, even ignoring anything else.
I wonder how long it will be before Tommeh is back there screaming about woke judges?
Same people moaning about the hotels are also moaning about housing. Do they realise if these, lets face it, slum hotel/open prisons are closed, they’d be housed in the very housing we have a lack of making the issue worse.
Well that’s a terrible headline – which they seem to have changed since.
For anyone interested the judgment is [here](https://www.judiciary.uk/judgments/epping-forest-district-council-v-somani-hotels/), along with a handy press release.
There are some fun legal technicalities (leading the court to decline to decide whether the hotel is in breach of planning rules), but basically the court found that while they might be, any breach of planning rules would not be “flagrant or persistent breach of planning control”, and does not result in “serious planning or environmental harm” – so no injunction blocking the use.
It is still open to the Council to go through their normal planning enforcement process, but they don’t get to shut down the hotel first.
Goodbye ECHR, hello Brexit part two.
Whether its related or not, people are going to vote as disenfranchised
Don’t shoot the messenger. lol.
