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. Other geographical areas (also colour-coded) of the County of Stirling are held by Stirling Council Archives. From 1964-1975, following changes in legislation, there was a single series of records for the whole County. At local government re-organisation in 1975, these records were divided between the Building Control sections of Falkirk District Council and Stirling District Council for administrative purposes. The Building Warrant files for the areas which became part of Falkirk District are held by Falkirk Archives and the other areas are held by Stirling Council Archives. Access arrangements. These records are held in an off-site store and three days advance notice is required for access. Under The Building (Procedure) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2009, access to plans of public buildings where there are security issues is limited to owners, tenants, occupiers or prospective tenants. Copying of plans normally requires the permission of the owner. The Registers are held in Callendar House and are accessible to researchers without advance notice. Cataloguing in progress The Building Warrant files are currently being listed. Additional cataloguing records are added weekly and both the Collections Browser (http://collections.falkirk.gov.uk) and this finding aid are Falkirk Archives (Archon Code: GB558) updated regularly. As of August 2014, the yellow area has been fully catalogued to 1964, the blue and red areas are in progress and the 1964-1975 files have not been catalogued. Uncatalogued files are still available for research but researchers should contact Falkirk Council Building Standards, Abbotsford House, David’s Loan, Falkirk for details of searching for specific warrants. Alternatively, plans can also be traced through the Registers and then requested using the original building warrant number, specifying whether major or minor warrant. There is no guarantee that a plan listed in the Registers will still exist.

  • Model Scheme for the Establishment of Community Councils in Scotland
    MODEL SCHEME FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF COMMUNITY COUNCILS IN SCOTLAND 1. Introduction Community Councils were first established in Scotland following the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973. Thereafter, the Local Government etc. (Scotland) Act, 1994, which produced the current system of unitary local authorities, made provision for the continuation of community councils. Under the legislation, every local community in Scotland is entitled to petition their local authority to establish a community council in their area. The Model Scheme for Community Councils in Scotland is designed to enable the establishment of community councils across Scotland and to provide a common minimum basic framework governing their creation and operation. 2. Statutory Purposes The statutory purposes of the community councils established under the Model Scheme are set out in Section 51 (2) of the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973, as follows: - ‘’In addition to any other purpose which a community council may pursue, the general purpose of a community council shall be to ascertain, co-ordinate and express to the local authorities for its area, and to public authorities, the views of the community which it represents, in relation to matters for which those authorities are responsible, and to take such action in the interests of that community as appears to it to be expedient and practicable’’ 3. The Role and Responsibilities of Community Councils The general purpose of community councils is to act as a voice for their local area. This will involve them articulating the views and concerns of local people in their area on a wide range of issues of public concern and make representations to their local authority, other public sector bodies and private agencies on matters within their sphere of interest.
