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 Variation to 19/01117/FUL - change of previously approved sash and case window to revert to casement formation on front elevation of property. Previously installed window was casement style, permission was approved to lower cill and change to sash and case, however it is proposed to reinstall casement style with the lowered cill. Increase height of ridge light along apex of roof as installed to 400mm. In order for the structure of the ridge light to work appropriately a 150mm timber packing piece had to be installed above what was approved, which has also allowed the window to be flashed appropriately to ensure longevity. Paint existing windows dark grey to match previously approved steelwork details.
