Rewarding army town

Catterick is another town which is going ahead with regeneration in a deal between Lingfield Securities and Defence Estates. The £15 million project will create around 11,148 sq.metres (120,000 sq.ft.) of retailing and leisure as well as an 80 bedroom hotel and 285 car parking spaces. Advised by GVA, Defence Estates’ Geoff Dixon commented: “Our first priority is supporting our armed services and their families.

We look forward to working with Lingfield to ensure that a sustainable community for the soldiers, their families and the local population is delivered at no cost to the MOD budget.” Paul Brewer of GVA said: “We are already seeing major interest from large national retailers looking to gain representation within the scheme.” There has been a considerable amount of regeneration in Catterick, such as the leisure centre, and the plan is to link all the new sites.
