I propose to take Questions Nos. 322, 323, 324, 325, 326, 327, 328, 329 and 330 together.
My Department collects statistics relating to the Derelicts Sites Act 1990 on an annual basis in Q3 of the following year. Therefore the information requested in respect of 2020 and 2021 is not yet available. The latest available statistics in this regard relate to 2019 and these are set out in the table below.
">Statistics
I have made no directions under sections 12 and 13 of the Derelict Sites Act 1990 in the period since taking office. Nor did my predecessor in the period from the beginning of 2019 to the date of his leaving office.
My Department does not collect data on the number of sites on the derelict sites register in each local authority in which the derelict sites levy is not payable as a vacant site levy is payable in accordance with the Urban Regeneration and Housing Act 2015. Similarly, my Department does not collect data on the number of prosecutions initiated by each local authority under the powers provided in the Derelict Sites Act 1990 nor does my Department collect data on the subsequent use of sites acquired under the Derelict Sites legislation,
The relevant local authority should be contacted for this information.
