Where did the money go? Well, up to Ł4.2 billion on the Annington Homes business for one thing.
An example (from The Grauniad):
An example (from The Grauniad):
On at least one occasion, the MoD has even had to buy land straight back from Annington for more housing. From 2001, the MoD had handed over various parcels of land at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire.
Annington secured planning consent to redevelop the land for private housing, before the MoD decided that it wanted to buy some of it back.
In 2014, the MoD paid Annington more than Ł28m to buy back a site at Brize Norton that included 194 houses. This means the MoD has paid about Ł145,000 per house for properties sold off for an average of Ł28,000 in the original 1996 deal.
