This is the up-to-date definition. Using the CSO's definition provides that consistency. In the context of what the definition states, BUAs are a new urban geographical construct for statistical purposed introduced in census 2022.

They are generated using an objective algorithm across the State that is used to group buildings together into BUAs. What is being done also relates to the NPF target for brownfield and infill development. Does that explain the matter?
