Scottish Vacant and Derelict Land Survey 2000

2.11 LEC areas provide the most closely consistent geographical boundaries upon which a time series can be constructed prior to 1996. The only major change following reorganisation in 1996 was the expansion of the Lanarkshire Development Agency boundary to include Rutherglen and Cambuslang from Glasgow Development Agency, and Cumbernauld, Kilsyth and the ‘Northern Corridor’* from Dunbartonshire Enterprise. Table 4 shows the distribution of vacant and derelict land through time. The entire series has been adjusted so that Cumbernauld and Kilsyth are included in the figures for the Lanarkshire Development Agency and not Dunbartonshire Enterprise. The footnotes to the table describe the treatment of other boundary changes.

2.12 Where a local authority did not participate in the survey in any given year, the most recently collected data have been used to provide estimates for the relevant LEC area. Annex Table D shows participation rates by local authorities.
