Planning application
26/0778/TRE
Hunters Moon Hotel Sid Road Sidmouth EX10 9AA
Proposal
T2 - Giant Sequoia, dismantle to ground level. The tree is in a significantly declining condition, with approximately 50% canopy mortality and a further 25% showing clear signs of decline. This level of dieback indicates a substantial loss of vitality and recovery is not expected. Removal is recommended in the interests of public safety. T3 - Magnolia Grandiflora, prune tips to reduce canopy by approximately 1.5m, ensuring suitable clearance from Hotel building. T4 - Robinia, dismantle to ground level. T5 - Robinia, crown reduce by 2-3m and remove deadwood.

What happens while it is decided
The process from here
This application is with East Devon 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.
