51 per cent of the 1998 BAR was made up of residential/domestic accommodation. Many of the entries were deemed to be 'vulnerable' and therefore capable of being repaired or returned to use. 70 per cent of these dwellings have now been removed from the register.
The survey area was limited, and as such the inclusion of 13 public houses on the BAR is a high figure for this building type. On the 2005 register, eight have been removed.
