Definitions/Interpretations. The SVDLS guidelines clearly state the definitions for the recording of vacant and derelict land. Where difficulties are encountered, the guidelines have been modified to assist in the provision of uniform returns, but ultimately the survey relies on the consistent application of definitions between local authorities and through subsequent years. Some of the changes reported in Annex Table B (sites removed for definitional reasons) come about following a reappraisal of the survey guidelines by local authority planning officers.
