"A Better Defence Estate" is a military-led review.

The Department's intent to close Invicta Barracks in 2027 forms part of a strategy to optimise the defence estate to better support our Armed Forces.

Equality impact assessments are carried out to ensure suitable and appropriate reprovisions are made when sites are actually closed. Therefore, the equality impact assessment will not be undertaken until much later in the disposals process.
