What happens while it is decided

The process from here

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.

About telecoms applications

How this application type works

Telecommunications applications cover masts, antennas and cabinets, most of which come forward as prior approval cases under permitted development rules. The council typically has 56 days to consider siting and appearance only. The need for the network itself is treated as established, so objections carry most weight where they address visual impact or siting.

    AT/2021/0139 Submitted 13 Apr 2021 84m away

    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.
