Essential Maintenance

The online Place Standard tool is currently undergoing some essential maintenance and will be offline for a short while. We are really sorry for any inconvenience that this might cause and we hope to be up and running again very soon. You can still access the Place Standard in PDF format at the link below and a host of guidance and resources. If you have any questions in the meantime then please get in touch at placestandard@gov.scot.
