Ministry of Defence: Land

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many affordable homes he plans to build on surplus military land in the next three years.

Answer

The recently announced Defence Housing Strategy sets out a vision for the future renewal of the Service family estate, and is backed by a 10-year programme of investment to deliver its recommendations in full, with savings from the Annington Deal put back into fixing Defence family homes and delivering for the nation.

The number of affordable homes delivered on surplus land will depend upon a number of factors including macroeconomic conditions, the appetite of development partners and planning decisions.
