There are 2 layers: Points & polygons (not all local authorities collect polygon data) Currently missing data from Fife A Building Standards Register is maintained by local authorities under the terms of Section 24 of the Building (Scotland) Act 2003. Local authorities are responsible for granting permission for work to be done (building warrant) and for a completed building to be occupied (completion certificate).
