51% 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% 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, 8 have been removed.
