Some of the homes in Chetwynd Barracks were sold to Annington Homes in 1996 a decision which has for some years raised questions about the status of those homes and their impact upon any possible development of the Barracks.
It now seems that the MoD and Annington Homes have come to an agreement for the MoD to buy those homes back from Annington Homes.
The impact upon any development of Chetwynd Barracks is yet to be determined but we’ll let you know as we find anything out.

Excellent news that all property in the Barracks is now owned by the MoD. It will make life much easier when it comes to implementing a holistic plan to develop the site in line with our neighbourhood plan.
