Source: MOD Defence Estates These holdings include land declared as surplus to defence requirements. A thousand hectares is 3.86 square miles. 1. Rights held are Land and foreshore that are not owned by, or leased to MOD, but over which the Department has limited rights under grants and rights. 2. The Centre includes Defence Equipment & Supply and Central Staff. 3. Includes former Service married quarters leased by the Defence Housing Executive from Annington Property Ltd. Statistics show that the estate size has not moved significantly in recent years. Disposals and acquisitions have occurred, but the impact on the overall estate size is not significant. The basis of measurement will be reviewed during the next year to ensure it reflects changes and improvements in technology. |
