Important - We're asking all users to update their account details

Our policy on user accounts have recently changed to address changes in privacy rules, and we want to ensure that any account information that we hold is current.

To meet these new rules, if you have not logged into your account, updated your account details since 23rd May 2018 and selected your security questions, your account may be identified as ‘inactive’ and could be automatically deleted.

If you’re not sure when you last did this, we'd suggest that you log in and update your account details today.

How can I update my account details?

To ensure that your account is retained, please log in and update your account details.

You can do this by visiting the ‘My Account’ page after logging in, checking that your personal information is up-to-date, selecting and answering some new security questions, and then save this information.

If you are happy for your account and any proposals that you have created to be deleted, you do not have to do anything further. This will be done automatically.

You can find out more about this in our Terms and Conditions and Privacy Notice available on our site.

If you have any queries on this, please contact our Support Desk on 0131 244 1450 or email us at eDevelopment@gov.scot.

How to get started with ePlanning

Once you are logged in, to get started on your form you will need to follow the ePlanning link on the left.

The process of creating a new proposal will include:

  • Choosing a site address
  • Giving the proposal a name
  • Selecting which application, review or appeal form you need to complete.  

The ePlanning service was originally launched in April 2009. It is a single shared service between the Scottish Government and the 33 local planning authorities that provides consistent and easy to use forms to submit planning applications and appeals online.  The original eplanning portal was replaced in January 2016 with ePlanning.scot which now forms part of the eDevelopment.scot suite of services.

The ePlanning portal enables:

  • The electronic submission to local authorities of applications for planning permission and other related forms, such as listed building consents.
  • Electronic payment of associated fees directly to the planning authority.
  • The submission of digital copies of supporting documentation, eliminating the need to print and post.

Of course, you can still call us on the Support Desk on 0131 244 1450 or email us at eDevelopment@gov.scot if you need further assistance.
