Barne Barton

[4] In the 1960s Barne Barton became one of the largest naval estates within England providing accommodation for those serving in HMNB Devonport, Plymouth and on those warships stationed there.

As the size of the Navy continued to shrink, the first part of the military estate was sold by the MOD at a discounted purchase scheme to serving members of HM Forces with Naval Personnel given first priority and they ended up in private ownership.

After further reduction in the size of the Royal Navy more properties were passed over initially to Plymouth City Council and then to Devon and Cornwall Housing Association.

The MOD retained a number of houses which were refurbished by Annington Homes and were sold off to the general public.

[5] In July 2018 Clarion Housing Group submitted a planning application to redevelop the area with 200 new homes.
