EP signs joint working agreement

National regeneration agency English Partnerships (EP) has signed a joint working agreement with the agency responsible for the portfolio of property and land owned by the Ministry of Defence (MoD). EP will work with Defence Estates to maximise the potential of surplus MoD property, playing a more significant role in analysing surplus assets and recommending disposal strategies. EP chief executive David Higgins said: "The MoD portfolio offers an excellent opportunity to redevelop redundant brownfield land and, in particular, help address housing needs."
