Request Copy Documents
Copies of Planning Decisions, Building Warrants, Completion Certificates and Approved Plans can be provided at a charge.
Each application will incur a separate charge.
Note: - Planning and Building Warrant applications between 1975 and 2000 are held on microfiche. Unfortunately, due to the age of some of the documents the reproduction quality cannot be guaranteed.
Note: Applications pre 1975 will only be available through the Archivist service at Elgin Library.
