Scottish Vacant and Derelict Land Survey 2004

Non-participating councils are identified for each year in Annex Table C. All councils participated in the 1990 and 1993 surveys.

Annex Table C: Local Authorities NOT participating in the survey, 1994-2004

1. Only Banff and Buchan District did not respond
2. Only the SVDLS-A data file was provided
3. See A10.
4. 2002 data submitted late, included in this publication. 2002 figures have been revised to include the return.

A.10 Land surveyed by Highland Council. Due to the large area of land covered by Highland Council, a partial survey was carried out in each year since 2002. Only derelict and urban vacant sites within a 1 km boundary of settlements with a population of 2,000 or over and derelict sites within the inner Moray Firth area have been surveyed. Thus, while data for Highland includes all relevant vacant sites, it excludes changes to derelict sites in rural areas outwith the inner Moray Firth area. The 1993 survey recorded 91 hectares (131 sites) of derelict land in rural areas outwith the Moray Firth area, this equates to 10 per cent of derelict land in the Highlands area reported in 2004.

A.11 Local Government reorganisation. Following the reorganisation of local government in 1996, the Scottish Enterprise Lanarkshire area was expanded to include Rutherglen and Cambuslang from Scottish Enterprise Glasgow, and Cumbernauld, Kilsyth and the 'Northern Corridor' from Scottish Enterprise Dunbartonshire. The 'Northern Corridor' is defined as that part of North Lanarkshire Council's area that was in the former Strathkelvin District Authority's area prior to the local government reorganisation.
