§ Ms Beverley HughesThe information is not currently available. The Department's Land Use Change Statistics provide estimates of the proportion of development that took place on land that was previously developed, but at present results are available only for counties, not for local authority districts or cities. This source is currently under review, and will be developed to provide more detailed, timely information.
