Scottish Vacant and Derelict Land Survey 2000

10.9 Table 20 shows the preferred and actual new use of sites brought back into use since the last survey. Overall, there is a positive relationship between the preferred and actual new use, indicating that the preferred new use is a reasonably good indicator of the actual use to which reclaimed land is put.
