The Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) has exchanged contracts for the sale of the Defence School of Languages site at Wilton Park, Beaconsfield to Inland.

The sale paves the way for the future development of Wilton Park, with the preparation of the Development Brief now at an advanced stage.

Ian Hay, DIO Head of National Disposals, said:

“I am delighted that the sale of this surplus MOD site is now nearing completion, which will help to deliver much needed new housing in the area.”

Extensive public consultation has given and continues to give local people the opportunity to help shape the future development of this important site.
