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.

Frogston Primary School 29 Achnacarry Street Edinburgh EH17 8GP
Non-Material Variation to Planning Consent 24/03166/FUL. 1. Of the four trees originally proposed for removal within the car park, two can now be retained. The remaining two, which were to be replaced, cannot be replanted this winter in line with the original programme. It is therefore proposed that these are replaced with container-grown trees, allowing planting to take place out with the winter season. 2. The tree previously identified for removal to the west of the pitch area has been assessed as being in good health and is now proposed for retention. 3. The Landscape Architect has recommended that the tree next to the southern fence of the pitch, which is leaning and may present future issues for the school, is removed and replaced with a container-grown tree.
