NOTES
1. Any person who:-
(a) uses or permits the use of a raised structure for the purpose of providing for
themselves or others raised accommodation without the approval of the Council;
or
(b) contravenes a condition contained in a notice served on them by the Council,
shall be guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction, to a fine.

Definition: “Raised Structure” means a platform, stand or other similar structure as
stated in (Section 89(2) Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982).
Fee: Fees for raised structures are set at a base rate of £300 for an
occupant capacity of 1000-2000 people in attendance. Where
the occupant capacity is greater than 2000 people the fee
increases by £100 per 1000 people or part thereof. Where the
occupant capacity of those in attendance is far less than 1000
people the fee will be calculated on a time basis and where the
structure is in association with a local gala day or similar event,
then the Council will have discretion in charging a fee.
Application for permission to erect a raised structure will not be
registered or processed until the appropriate fee has been paid.
