The potential market value of sites is usually only assessed when they become surplus. However, it is our practice not to release the estimated sale value of surplus sites as to do so might influence the market.
The MOD’s long-term Defence Estate Development Plan (DEDP), which can be found on the MOD internet at
http://www.defence-estates.mod.uk/publications/dedp08.php,
classifies the Department’s sites in three categories; core, retained, or disposal estate.
