Scottish Vacant and Derelict Land Survey 2004

10 New derelict or urban vacant sites

10.1 Table 19 shows the area and number of distinct new sites, which have been identified as vacant or derelict since the last survey was conducted. There were 190 hectares (104 sites) of newly identified derelict land since the previous survey. Of these, 72 hectares (27 sites) were in Fife and 40 hectares (5 sites) were in Midlothian. There were 220 hectares (185 sites) of newly identified urban vacant land since the previous survey. Of these, 48 hectares (15 sites) were in Aberdeen and 41 hectares (41 sites) were in Glasgow. Note that these figures relate only to completely new sites identified; sites listed in the previous survey, which increased in size, are not included in Table 19, this increase accounts for approximately 40 additional hectares of land.
