  • Stirling County Building Warrants
    Falkirk Archives (Archon Code: GB558) FALKIRK ARCHIVES Local authority records Stirling County Council Building Warrants Finding Aid Administrative History The origins of building standards were in the Dean of Guild Courts of the medieval Royal Burghs. Their powers to hear offences against neighbourliness gradually evolved into modern planning and building control regulations. From 1862 Town Councils were permitted to set up Dean of Guild Courts and from 1892 all town councils were required to set up Dean of Guild Courts. The Dean of Guild Courts had powers to impose conditions relating to public health under the 1862 Police Act. County Councils had similar powers from 1889. Scope and Contents Building warrant files, building warrant application registers and annotated Ordnance Survey maps, for the geographical area formerly administered by Stirling County Council and now administered by Falkirk Council. Building warrant files contain the plans, petitions (ie applications), completions certificates, correspondence and related papers submitted to the local authority for permission to build or to make structural alterations to domestic and public buildings under successive building control and building standards legislation. The Registers provide a summary list of applications and their outcome. Arrangement Stirling County Council building warrants from c 1900-1964 were separated into geographical areas and this order has been maintained. The red area covers the south and east of the former County of Stirling, including Shieldhill, Polmont and the Braes. The yellow area covers the areas around Bonnybridge, Denny and Dunipace. The blue area covers Airth, Larbert and Stenhousemuir. However it should be noted that some building warrant files were put into the “wrong” colour-coded area and there has been no attempt to correct this.
