Scottish Vacant and Derelict Land Survey 2000

10.7 Table 18 shows the distribution of site size classes for those sites brought back into use. The distribution is similar to that for extant sites (i.e. those which remain vacant or derelict). This implies that the ‘demand’ for vacant or derelict sites closely matches the ‘supply’, in terms of the size of available sites.

1 Figures may not sum due to rounding
2 The figures for Dundee City, Falkirk, Highland, Scottish Borders and West Lothian are not included as they did not participate in the 2000 survey
3 The figures for Argyll & Bute and South Ayrshire are sites brought back into use, compared with sites recorded in 1998, as they did not participate in the 1999 survey
4 The figures for Moray are sites brought back into use, compared with sites recorded in 1996, as they did not participate in the 1997,1998 or 1999 surveys

10.8 Table 19 shows the previous use and new use of sites brought back into use since the last survey. The new use of sites is not the same as the previous use, in the majority of cases. However, where the previous use was residential, 38 out of the 44 hectares were brought back into use as residential development.
