Central Government alone owns more than 16 million m2 of land, more than 6 times the area of the City of London. Large amounts of land are also owned by Local Authorities and other public bodies. The Government is increasingly seeking to streamline its property portfolio, and has recently sold a number of surplus sites for use in housing development.
