520			_aReports on the large-scale sale of redundant MOD sites and argues for changes to the current disposal system. Outlines arrangements for the sale of government land such as the 1992 Treasury rules (DOA 13/92) and highlights public criticism against the disposals system and Crown immunity. Suggests a number of key areas need addressing such as the Treasury rules, the Defence Estates' remit, the transparency of early stages before site release, the role of local authorities and communities, uncertainties in the MOD's planning, responsibility for decontamination, conservation issues and subsequent uses following initial sale. Briefly looks at good practice in the US and Sweden and provides some case studies of defence site re-use. References.
