Scottish Vacant and Derelict Land Survey 2022
The Scottish Vacant and Derelict Land Survey (SVDLS) is a data collection undertaken to establish the extent and state of vacant and derelict land in Scotland.
8. Derelict and Urban Vacant Land: Previous Uses and Development Potential
More than a quarter of derelict land (27%) had previously been used for mineral activity. Almost a quarter had been used for manufacturing. For urban vacant land, 13% had been used for manufacturing and a further 13% had former residential use.
Almost half (47%) of urban vacant land is considered to be developable in the short-term (within 5 years). This is lower for derelict land at 19%. However more than half of derelict land is considered developable within 10 years.
