The list is based on tenders accepted for schemes approved for grant: work on a few of these schemes may not yet have been started on the ground.
It is not possible to provide total costs, because the cost of acquisition of land is often not available until some time after the start of work.
Similarly, because grant is payable both on works costs and on acquisition costs (less in some cases, any value of the land after rehabilitation) it is not possible yet to give total grant payable: but all these schemes will attract grant at the rate of 85 per cent. of the approved net cost.
50Wland clearance schemes in progress at present in Scotland, the acreage of derelict land reclaimed, the grant approved, and the total cost of each scheme.
