Background

Under the Army Basing Programme, announced in 2013, more than 100 army units relocated, disbanded, reconfigured or re-roled as part of the government's commitment to bring all units back from Germany by 2020. [1] The programme focused on personnel being increasingly concentrated around Salisbury Plain, Cottesmore, Aldershot, Colchester, Stafford and Catterick, the largest British Army garrison in the world.

As part of the government's Better Defence Estate strategy, announced in Nov 2016, the Army plans to, over a period of 25 years, close down and dispose of numerous bases in the UK. This more efficient approach "co-locates people and capabilities in sustainable locations around centres of mass," and also releases land for up to 55,000 new homes. [15]
