[holding answer 27 June 2006]: The information available is from Land Use Change Statistics, shown in the following tables. The tables show figures for 2004 and the average for 2001 to 2004 for each local authority in the south east. Single year figures at local authority level are not representative due to small sample sizes and are therefore subject to fluctuation, so the average over the period 2001 to 2004 is a better representation than the figure for a single year.
The figures provided in the previous answer included conversions, which are only available at a regional level. The figures in this answer therefore exclude conversions, and as a result the regional total shown will be different.
The tables also include figures for 1989 to 1992. Before 1989 the data was based on smaller samples and so is not comparable.
