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.

Broad Oak Lodge Ford Lane West Hill Devon EX11 1XE
T1, Scotts pine : remove, due to history of limb failure and infection from Neolentinus lepideous fungus which can be seen throughout the upper canopy (see photos); the recent limb failure (Photo 1) has left a deep tear wound in the main stem approximately half way up which could compromise structural integrity in the future.
