It is not practicable to make a precise division between land, property and businesses, as many property titles will encompass a combination of these.

During the calendar months of August and September 2023, £11,770,997 was committed in relation to Phase 2a and 2b Land and Property. Any land and property that is no longer required will be sold, and a programme is being developed to do this.
