The process from here
This application is with City of Edinburgh for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.
The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.
About full applications applications
How this application type works
A full application seeks permission for a complete, detailed proposal in one go: siting, design, access and landscaping are all fixed at this stage. It is the standard route for new buildings, conversions and changes of use. The statutory target is eight weeks for smaller schemes and thirteen weeks for major development, though complex cases often take longer by agreement.

Replacement of three existing windows on the principal (front) elevation: two serving the living room and one serving the hall. The existing windows are white uPVC sliding sash units. The proposed replacement windows will also be white uPVC units and will maintain the existing appearance of the property. The new windows will incorporate a centrally positioned dummy transom bar, replicating the sightlines and proportions of the existing sliding sash windows and ensuring consistency with the wider terrace. There will be no change to the frame material, colour, overall window size, opening arrangement as viewed externally, or the architectural character. The only alteration is to the method of operation, with the existing sliding sash mechanism being replaced by a tilt-and-turn opening system to improve functionality as well as ease and safety of maintenance. This change will not materially affect the external appearance of the property or its contribution to the character of the area
