HELP - How can I ensure that I get my Building Standards application right the first time?
The Scottish Government's Building Standards Division has produced helpful guidance on what you need to know to make a quality Building Warrant application. This includes checklists of what you should consider and what information that you should include when submitting your application. Following this guide will help you to give your authority all the information that it needs to assess your application first time, and can greatly reduce the risk of delays.
SERVICE ISSUE - Issue identified if using the site and paying online with a MacOS Device
An issue has been reported for some users accessing the eDevelopment service with a Chrome browser on a MacBook. When paying by credit/debit card, you may encounter a "Comms Error" preventing payment. This appears to be a bug with the Chrome Browser on MacOS.
If this is affecting you, we would recommend that you use a different browser (e.g. Safari) or device (e.g. PC) to make your payment.
