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.

We intend on painting the side & rear timber sash + case windows a green colour, which does not require planning permission as per The EoECs guidance Quick Guide to Windows dated 2024. We would also like to paint the front elevation windows the same green colour (Farrow & Balls Green Smoke) for continuity, which we feel is acceptable due to the building being set back from the road and given there is a large site boundary wall to Hope Terrace, which provides screening and means there would be little to no impact to the street. This application is therefore requesting approval to paint the front elevation windows & frames, as noted above.
