   Awaiting decision

   Decision expected by 2 December 2025, 8 weeks from validation under the statutory target for most applications. Extensions of time are common and are agreed case by case.

   Torbay took a median of 62 days over the applications it decided in the last year.

This application is with Torbay 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.

Heritage applications concern listed buildings and conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for works, inside or out, that affect the special interest of a listed building, and carrying out such works without consent is a criminal offence. The council weighs harm to the heritage asset against any public benefit of the proposal.

  We are requesting the removal of a large sycamore tree on the West side of the driveway at St Ronans, the tree is imposing on the yew trees that sit behind it and it is also intruding on the tree canopy of the Scotch Pines, which pre date the Sycamore and are characteristic of the Warberry Hillside. The sycamore also creates a lot of debris in Autumn and pigeons roost in it in Spring and this creates a dangerous surface for some of the elderly residents that live in the flats at St Ronans. This is already a steep driveway so the combination in the winter makes it very dangerous. If removal of the sycamore is granted we will replace it with a new yew tree or Scotch Pine, whichever is your preference.
