DatasetVerified2/7DownloadSubscribeNational

This dataset provides building standards data for Scotland, collected automatically from local authority systems via a custom Cloud Connector Framework. It includes two layers, points and polygons, though not all local authorities supply polygon data; all 32 local authority verifiers now submit data daily. Building Standards Registers are maintained by local authority verifiers under Section 24 of the Building (Scotland) Act 2003, covering building warrant applications and completion certificates at stages such as received, decided, commenced, and completed. Given the dataset's size, filtering by attributes such as local authority is recommended when using the WFS service. Published by the Scottish Government's SpatialData.gov.scot.This new building standards data has been created using a custom built 'Cloud Connector Framework' which enables the automated collection of data from local data systems. There are 2 layers: Points & polygons (not all local authorities collect polygon data) ALL 32 LOCAL AUTHORITY VERIFIERS ARE NOW PROVING DATA ON A DAILY BASIS A Building Standards Register is maintained by local authorities verifiers 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). These registers are online and searchable and published as weekly lists in a similar way to planning applications. Registers typically contain details of applications at the following stages of the building warrant process: Received Decided Commenced Completed We strongly recommend that when using the WFS for this dataset, because of its size, you use it with a filter. For example with the attributes 'local_authority'. A powerBI dashboard highlighting some data quality issues we have found is available to view at https://shorturl.at/9NzAX.

Data access

CKAN dataset (file distributions)

A CKAN-hosted dataset whose resources are file downloads rather than a queryable DataStore, so no column schema could be read automatically. The dataset page lists the downloadable distributions.
