Why was Project Allenby/Connaught set up?
As a result of the Strategic Defence Review (SDR), more Army units, along with their associated personnel and equipment, would need to use and/or be accommodated in the garrisons adjacent to the Salisbury Plain Training Area and within Aldershot Garrison. A reorganisation of force structures would also result in some unit moves. A Project Team, Allenby/Connaught, was established to examine the best way of meeting these requirements. The ultimate aim was to improve the living and working environment of all personnel, whilst achieving long term value for money and it is flexible enough to take into account any new additional initiatives.
