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 trees applications
How this application type works
Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.

Non-Material Variaion application to Planning Ref: 22/01837/FUL. The variation is sought for the glass above the Link Hall only. We have now been consulting with a frameless glass specialist and are proposing an alternative frameless glass solution which keeps the overall same area of glass the same but re orientates the pitch to encompass the whole door opening, avoiding extra joints and potential interface complications and giving an even more invisible look.
