Departmental Buildings

Answer

I will place a copy of the list of land and property sold by the Department and its agencies in each of the last five years, together with an indication of the expected planning use in the Library of the House. This replaces any previous lists. It should be noted that actual future use is a matter for the purchasers and local planning authorities to determine. The MOD and the Department for Communities and Local Government are delivering affordable housing as part of wider government agenda. We have in the past sold a large number of strategic sites to DCLG, including Oakington barracks in Cambridge, Connaught barracks in Dover and Roussillon barracks in Chichester. This relationship continues with other sites at Aldershot, Daws Hill and Borden being currently discussed. Substantive answer from Kevan Jones to Grant Shapps:"In my answer of 27 April (Official Report, column 1022W) I undertook to write to you with details of what Ministry of Defence (MOD) properties have been sold in each of the last five years and how many have been sold for housing developments.""The requested list of properties, including details of their expected planning use, has been placed in the Library of the House.""This list does not include details of sites which subsequent to sale by this Department may have been sold on and then used for residential development. This issue is would be a matter for the new owner and MOD does not maintain a record of such cases."
