Doug Oliver , leader of Rother District Council, said he welcomed the " sensible" decision.
" Camber is not a large community… this would not have been The Right arrangement either for migrants or for residents, " he added.

He has Singled Out holiday parks, former student halls of residence and surplus military sites as possible alternatives - But none has yet been given the go-ahead.
