| There is no specific definition of the term “derelict building” in the Derelict Sites Act 1990. However the term “derelict site” is defined in section 3 of the Act to mean - “any land which detracts, or is likely to detract, to a material degree from the amenity, character or appearance of land in the neighbourhood of the land in question because of — (a) the existence on the land in question of structureswhich are in a ruinous, derelict or dangerous condition, or (b) the neglected, unsightly or objectionable conditionof the land or any structures on the land in question, or (c) the presence, deposit or collection on the land in question of any litter, rubbish, debris or waste, except where the presence, deposit or collection of such litter, rubbish, debris or waste results from the exercise of a right conferred by statute or by common law.”. Supplementary to this, the term “land” is defined as “any structure and any land covered with water”, while the term “structure” is defined as “any building, erection, structure, excavation, or other thing, constructed, erected, or made on, in or under any land, or any part of a structure so defined, and, where the context so admits, includes the land on, in, or under which the structure is situate.”. |
