Rural housing in Scotland cannot be delivered at the scale required if it is attempted through the model used by most UK volume housebuilders, suggests a report by Savills.

The country’s Vacant and Derelict Land Taskforce has set out its stall on how it plans to help bring land back into productive use and prevent future sites from being abandoned.

The issue of concentrated land ownership is having significant impacts on communities across rural Scotland, according to a report just published by the Scottish Land Commission.

A ‘clear vision’ for how community ownership can become a mainstream way to deliver development and regeneration in Scottish communities should be established, the Scottish Land Commission has said.
