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 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.

T1 - Lime, re-pollard to existing pollard points. **A recurring two-year management cycle is requested to enable the tree to be re-pollarded at approximately two-year intervals, maintaining the established pollard form and avoiding the need for more severe pruning in the future.** This mature Lime tree has put a large amount of regrowth since it was last pollard in late 2024, a repeat operation is necessary to prevent the tree from becoming over-dominant in its relatively restricted location. A rolling two-year consent is requested to allow the tree to be re-pollarded on a cyclical basis. This will provide flexibility in programming the works while ensuring the tree continues to be managed in accordance with its established pollarding regime.
