Search and copy building standards documents

The information held on this register covers all North Lanarkshire applications and notices since 1 May 2005.

If you don't find what you are looking for, or if the records you are interested are dated before 1 May 2005, you can ask us to carry out a search. We will do this when we get a completed request form and fee. Our fees are detailed within the form.

What you need to know before you apply for copy documents:

• We can only provide copy documents to an 'interested party' defined as the current owner, prospective owner, occupier or tenant.
• We aim to provide copy documents within two weeks, however, timescales may vary. In some instances providing copies may take longer.
• We may be unable to provide information on work more than 25 years old.
• Once retrieved, we can only hold records from our archives for a limited time before they are returned.
• If we carry out a search and can't provide copies, the fee paid is not refundable.
• The initial fee allows us to search and provide you with a copy of a single document or drawing, if these are available. An additional fee will be charged if you need copies of more than one document or drawing.
