A development processing apparatus includes: a substrate holder that holds a substrate horizontally wherein the substrate includes a resist film; a rotator that rotates the substrate holder; first and second developer supplies that supply a developer to the substrate; and a liquid receiver that receives the developer from the substrate. The first developer supply is formed to have a length smaller than a diameter of the substrate. The second developer supply is formed to have a length equal to or larger than the diameter of the substrate. The liquid receiver includes first and second annular walls that are formed in an annular shape having a circular opening having a diameter larger than the diameter of the substrate. The first and second annular walls are movable up and down independently of each other, and a vertical distance between the first annular wall and the second annular wall is variable.
