The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many homes in the Poole constituency will be (a) modernised and (b) upgraded under the Defence Housing Strategy.

Answered by Luke Pollard

At this stage, we are unable to confirm how many Defence Homes will be improved within the Poole constituency.

Currently, planning is at relatively high level across the whole estate which tells us that around nine out of ten Defence homes will need to be modernised or upgraded under the implementation of the Strategy over 10 years, in a carefully planned renewal programme.
