A line chart showing the area of land for which the Scottish Government’s Vacant and Derelict Land Fund has contributed to reuse since 2005. In recent years the amount each year has been fairly steady and was 8 hectares in 2023, contributing to a total since 2005 of 466 hectares.

The Vacant and Derelict Land Fund has made either a partial or full contribution to the removal of 8 hectares (7 sites).

Across the seven councils in the VDLF for 2005 to 2023, in 2022 an estimated 192,700 properties (both private households and communal establishments) were within 500 metres of land reclaimed with the involvement of the VDLF.
