Information regarding Local Authority payment arrangements due to COVID-19
Due to the current circumstances, many Authorities are working remotely and have changed how they accept payment through the eDevelopment.scot service. While all Authorities still accept Credit/Debit card payments, only some are currently accepting payment by Telephone, Cheque, and/or the Client-to-Pay option.
The available payment options for your Authority are shown on the 'Proposal Summary' page before you start your application. If you cannot pay using these methods, please contact your Authority BEFORE submitting your application (details are available here).
