Results per page 25 | 50 | 100Dear Planning Inspectorate, I am writing to object to the proposed expansion of Campsfield House Immigration Removal Centre. The application reference is CROWN/2026/0000004. I object because the proposal would more than double the size of Campsfield, from 160 to 400 places, on Green Belt land. I am concerned that the expansion would make the site more built-up, harm the openness of the Green Belt, and add pressure to local roads, services and infrastructure. The Home Office has not clearly sh... Read more

I am responding to this consultation as a member of the public concerned about green belt protection, accountability, and the use of public money to fund dangerous and unnecessary immigration detention. I object because tripling the floor space and enormously increasing the height/impact of a site on green belt land is clearly inappropriate. In order to justify the use of so-called "grey belt" land, the Home Office must demonstrate there's a clear unmet need, which I do not believe it is the ca... Read more

As a local County and District Councillor for Kidlington, I strongly object to the proposed expansion of Campsfield House Immigration Removal Centre through the provision of an additional 240 detention places. This proposal conflicts with the development plan, undermines the strategic planning vision for the area, fails to demonstrate a proven operational need, and would have significant adverse impacts on the future economic, transport and environmental objectives for North Oxford. It also r... Read more

Dear Planning Inspectorate, I am writing to object to the proposed expansion of Campsfield House Immigration Removal Centre. The application reference is CROWN/2026/0000004. I disagree with the expansion and continuous use of this facility. The Home Office has not clearly shown why 240 additional detention places are needed at Campsfield specifically, or why existing capacity, alternatives to detention, or other estate options would not be sufficient. This is especially important because... Read more

I am opposed to the proposed expansion of the Campsfield House IRC for a number of reasons. Generally I think IRC’s are both uneconomic and inhumane. They are uneconomic because many people detained are released back to into the community within a short period so there was no point detaining them. They are inhumane because detention is an extremely traumatic experience for people who are seeking sanctuary in the UK having fled persecution. It is particularly stressful when it’s not clear if/... Read more
