Scottish Vacant and Derelict Land Survey 2004
11.9 Table 25 shows that the distribution of site size classes for those sites brought back into use and for extant sites (i.e. those which remain vacant or derelict), sites brought back are on average smaller than existing sites. Only 2 per cent of derelict sites brought back into use are 10 hectares or larger compared to 7 per cent of extant sites.
