The process from here
Permission has been granted, usually subject to conditions listed on the decision notice, some of which must be discharged before work starts. The decision notice on the council portal sets out exactly what was approved.
Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses. Neighbours cannot appeal a grant; challenging one means judicial review of how the decision was made, within tight time limits.
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.

Chilcote House 14 Manor Road Torquay TQ1 3JX
Failed retaining wall adjacent public highway. Part retrospective application - for root pruning. Part application for crown reduction. Recommendations: Do not cut any more of tree or roots over 2.5cm in diameter. Prune off small fibrous roots with sharp clean tool (such as secateurs) to minimise the size of the wound and reduce the possibility of decay pathogens gaining access to the roots. Cover exposed roots (including fine fibrous feeding roots) with hessian sack and wet to prevent further desiccation. Rebuild wall around tree shape and root form. Protect the roots from leachate with a polythene root barrier from base of foundation to level of tree mass. Undertake a crown reduction in height by 3m by drop crotching, reducing the lateral branches by 2m to leave a crown of a good form.
