There are different routes available for communities who want to take on ownership or use of land or buildings, and different kinds of support available. Join this webinar to hear more about how to find opportunities for ownership and use, what different routes to ownership entail, and who can help you on your journey. Ownership and lease of assets provides communities with opportunities to create jobs through enterprise, support vulnerable people, build homes for local residents, bring vacant and derelict sites back into use, support health and wellbeing, protect heritage assets, deliver vital local services, tackle depopulation, and celebrate local culture.

Scottish Land Commission | 3,647 followers on LinkedIn. Making more of Scotland’s land | The Scottish Land Commission is working to create a Scotland where everybody benefits from the ownership, management and use of the nation’s land and buildings. Our work is focussed on four key areas covering both urban and rural land in Scotland:
• Land for housing and development – Working to reduce constraints to redeveloping vacant and derelict land for housing and other productive uses, improve land supply for housing and stimulate a more active approach to developing land in the public interest.
• Land ownership – The Land Commission is examining the impacts of scale and concentration of land ownership and tax policy, as well as reviewing the effectiveness of the Community Right to Buy mechanisms.
• Land Use Decision-making – The Land Commission seeks to improve the quality and accountability of decision making, providing guidance where necessary.
• Agricultural Holdings – We are working to increase access to land for those who want to farm, improve the relationships between landowners and tenant farmers and stimulate the tenant farming sector. We are a Non Departmental Public Body (NDPB) and have six Commissioners, including a Tenant Farming Commissioner, appointed by Scottish Ministers.

Community ownership is integral to regeneration and sustainable development in both rural and urban Scotland. We are working to make community ownership a normal and routine option for a community to acquire and own land that could provide local housing, business development, community facilities, recreation facilities, greenspace, as a fundamental way to create more vibrant communities and regional economies.

With more than 211,998 hectares of land (2.6% of the total land area of Scotland) under community ownership, many parts of Scotland are already demonstrating the value that this form of ownership can bring. Recent legislation also extends the option to include urban land, buildings and communities.

Community ownership is not an end in itself, but a means to achieving a range of positive outcomes from social and economic development to environmental management and restoration. Communities have many options to secure and develop land and for those that are interested in exploring the community ownership option, there is a wide range of financing models.

Our aim is to achieve a culture shift so that community ownership becomes a routine option for communities, so that it is a planned and proactive approach to community development, rather than reactive, driven by specific problems or land coming onto the market.

Scottish Vacant and Derelict Land Survey and Map

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Scottish Vacant and Derelict Land Survey (SVDLS) is a yearly data collection by the Scottish Government to find out how much vacant and derelict land there is, where it is and what state it is in. You can now view this data on a map to find out about sites near you.

The collected vacant and derelict land data, provided each year by Planning Authorities, is currently held in the SVDLS Register. It is available to any member of the public who may have an interest in re-developing this type of land, for example, a developer, a charity, a community, or an individual. To enquire about specific sites you can contact your local Planning Officer and contact details can be found on the register.

The vacant and derelict sites from the 2022 SVDLS have now been added to an interactive map - see below. It allows people to view individual sites and their characteristics, including satellite images of the site. This allows people to check a site near them, or visualise a site, to help them decide if it is suitable for re-development.

The 2023 SVDLS statistics were published on 28th June 2024. This information will be incorporated into the map in due course - at the same link below.

We have launched our ambitious 25-year vision for the future of the North West Highlands.

The vision aims to:

Make the North West Highlands an attractive place to live and work

Build towards a diverse and sustainable local economy

Empower communities to shape their own future

In an extensive consultation with local people across the region, the Northwest2045 project has agreed six shared goals to turn that vision into a reality:

1. Affordable housing for young people and families

2. High speed broadband access for all

3. Rural hubs to support businesses, homeworking and delivery of services

4. A healthy food scheme based on local produce

5. A new Regional Land Use Partnership to support green economic recovery

6. New forms of local democracy to give communities a greater role in decision-making.

Since March 2020, a diverse team of volunteers, paid professionals and young local interviewers have been working with communities from Coigach up to Durness and round the North coast to Bettyhill to help develop this shared vision for the area. The consultation carried out online and in person, where restrictions allowed, attracted the attention of one in ten North West residents. It included an open survey which attracted 250 responses; a young person's survey attracted 90 responses; in depth interviews with 65 people and four online community workshops for residents in Coigach, Assynt, Kinlochbervie and Tongue.

We plan to build strong foundations over the next 5 years, with support from key partners, from which we can evolve strategies and plans to meet our long-term aims to 2045.

Over the next weeks, months and years we want to continue to engage with communities to give everyone who lives in the North West Highlands the opportunity to make sure their voices heard and help shape the future of our area together. Please download the vision document below and let us know what you think!

A longer version will soon be available on this page for those who want to dig into the consultation results a bit further.

A former gravel and sand quarry, Doune Ponds is a 40-acre Local Nature Reserve owned by Moray Estates and managed in partnership with Doune Community Woodland Group (DCWG) since 2014.

Moray Estates initially approached the community through the Kilmadock Community Council (CC) to explore local involvement, and after positive response DCWG was set up.

Approach

Doune Ponds is actively managed by DCWG, Kilmadock CC, and Moray Estates. A ten-year Management Agreement (2014-2024) is in place between Moray Estates and DCWG, with a focus on restoration, access and conservation.

A nine-member Management Group was created to hold overall responsibility: Moray Estates hold a permanent place along with two CC representatives. Monthly meetings have resulted in an effective partnership between landowner and community, sharing liability, investment, skills and ideas and working towards their 10-year plan.

Achievements and Benefits

The active management of Doune Ponds has seen an area of neglected land regenerated into an accessible, well-used community greenspace: 1,400 metres of new footpath, steps, footbridges, bird hides and picnic benches have been installed and many existing paths refurbished. A haven for wildlife and biodiversity, the reserve is home to ducks, swans, roe deer, red squirrels, pike and perch, as well as being an important site for fungi.

Active involvement has given the community a strong sense of ownership. Used daily by walkers and regularly by groups including the school, Doune Ponds is a valued public amenity: it won the Small Community Woodland Award in 2017 and was Highly Commended in 2019 at the Scottish Finest Woods Awards.

A key benefit of land-owners and communities working side-by-side is the opportunity it allows both to get to know each other, building a relationship based on open, regular communication. Moray Estates recognises that this has led to further partnership working with the Doune community and is committed to community engagement on future development plans for the estate.

Volunteers are the lynchpin of the partnership's success. DCWG currently has 45 members who have volunteered 7,000 hours to date. The majority are retirees who take pride in developing a site that has value for the wider community and environment. Wednesdays have become 'site day' where volunteers gather, share the workload and enjoy the company - a valuable social benefit in itself. Lady Moray often joins them for a cup of tea and chat.

Moray Estates invests financially and through in-kind support from staff, while DCWG has accessed grants, community benefit funding from a local windfarm, community donations, and in-kind plant hire and materials. Combined with volunteer hours, this has transformed the site in a very short time. The shared liability for Doune Ponds is valued by both Moray Estates and DCWG.

What's Next

Happy with the relationship and way of working, Moray Estates and DCWG believe that this model would benefit landowners, communities and the sustainable management of small woodlands across Scotland. Having identified few challenges, the Management Group is focusing on volunteer succession, proactively planning and recruiting for this. There is a long-term commitment to continue managing Doune Ponds in partnership, maintaining it as a productive, valued community asset.
