8.3 Table 14 shows the distribution of derelict sites in relation to size. It shows that the majority of small sites (under 5 hectares) are located in urban areas, and that larger derelict sites tend to be located in rural areas.

8.4 The 10 councils with the highest percentage of derelict urban land in relation to local authority total urban area are shown in Chart 6. Urban areas have been defined as localities which contained 1,000 residents or more in 1991. Note that this differs from the definition used in the survey, which restricts the definition of urban areas to those containing at least 2,000 residents. The figures for all local authorities urban areas are shown in Annex Table A.
