Description
Source: Scottish Vacant and Derelict Land Survey.
Derelict land (and buildings) is land which has been so damaged by development, that it is incapable of development for beneficial use without rehabilitation. In addition the land must currently not be used for the purpose for which it is held or a use acceptable in the local plan. Land also qualifies as derelict if it has an un-remedied previous use which could constrain future development.
Vacant land is land which is unused for the purposes for which it is held and is viewed as an appropriate site for development. This land must either have had prior development on it or preparatory work has taken place in anticipation of future development. This indicator covers vacant land (referred to as 'urban vacant') that is located within settlements of over 2,000 in population as defined in council local plans.
Sites covering less than 0.1 hectare are excluded unless a group of adjacent sites exceeds 0.1 hectare and can be counted as a single contiguous site. The survey is voluntary. If a local authority does not complete the survey the most recent data is used.

Quality Management
Accuracy and Reliability
Coherence and Comparability
Not all local authorities participate in the survey every year. There are two main impacts arising from this: 1. Comparisons between years must be made with care and only for individual local authorities where suitable data exist. 2. Where a local authority has not provided data every year, the recorded change will be since the last survey, and will thus reflect several years’ worth of change. Non-participating councils are identified for each year in Annex Table E in the most recent publication.
From 2011 Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park took responsibility for surveying vacant and derelict land within the park boundaries. These sites are no longer recorded in Argyll & Bute, Perth & Kinross, Stirling and West Dunbartonshire local authority boundaries, and are separately identifiable as Loch Lomond from 2011. Prior to 2011, these sites were classified within the relevant local authority boundary. Therefore from 2011 to obtain a Scotland total, figures for Loch Lomond should be included along with those for other local authorities. Values for Loch Lomond can be found in the most recent publication in Tables, 5 & 11.
