2 For 10 sites, the distinction between urban and rural is unspecified. There is one in Aberdeenshire (0.41 ha), two in Dundee (4.89 ha in total), two in Fife (0.90 ha in total) two in North Lanarkshire (0.75 ha in total), one in South Ayrshire (0.32 ha) and two in South Lanarkshire (17.92 ha in total).
8.3 It can be seen, from Table 15, which shows derelict land by location and site size, that the majority of sites under 5 hectares are in urban areas. However, in terms of the sites over 10 hectares, slightly more are located in rural than urban areas.
8.4 Chart 6 shows the 12 councils with the highest percentage of urban derelict land in relation to their total urban area. Using the postcode directory supplied by the General Register Office (Scotland), urban areas have been defined as localities which contain 1,000 residents or more. The figures for all the councils can be found in the Annex, which also includes the percentage of rural land area which is derelict.
