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 householder applications
How this application type works
Householder applications cover work to an existing house and its garden: extensions, loft and garage conversions, porches, outbuildings and similar alterations within the boundary of the home. They cannot be used to create a separate dwelling or change what the building is used for. Councils aim to decide them within eight weeks, and immediate neighbours are usually notified and given a chance to comment.

Abbeyfield Sanders Court 4 Manor Road Torquay TQ1 3JX
T1 - ASh Fraxinus Excelsior This is a group of 5 small ash trees. They are self-seeded in the boundary hedge. They are growing over the property and starting to touch the roof. The crowns are looking sparse and showing signs of ash dieback. The car park is busy with people visiting residients and as the ash trees die they wll becombe dangerous. If one failed could cause injury or damage to properties. We would like to dismantle the trees to ground level and let the hedge grow in their place to keep the green aesthetics for both residents and neighbours.
