Abstract
The sale of public assets can provide much needed funds for the UK’s HM Treasury but when the sale involves former military accommodation in rural areas that have limited access to services, recreational facilities and employment opportunities it can create areas of deprivation that require substantial government resources to bring back to a reasonable standard. In exploring whether the current MoD site disposal policy is equitable, we uncover the human story and the importance of ‘forming’ community over and above profit. Should planning for a sustainable future and providing the means for a resilient community always be the primary consideration?
