By the end of March 2018, over 40,000 homes had been brought to market on former central government land, of which over 11,500 homes are on former MoD sites.

Land released via the Public Land for Housing Programme is subject to the requirements of Affordable Housing policies of each Local Planning Authority (LPA).
