The Ministry of Defence (MOD) currently occupies some 600 hectares of space around Graven Hill & Arncott Hill just outside Bicester, Oxon. There are two barracks (St George’s at Graven Hill & St David’s outside Arncott) occupied by Land Forces. There are also six storage & distribution sites that surround each of the hills, occupied by the Logistics Commodities and Services (LCS).
The existing layout of the sites is inefficient for modern purposes and is currently dominated by warehouses and office facilities.The MoD has proposed selling off the bulk of these site for housing and commercial development.
