   The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development. Extensions of time are common.

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.

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.

  Flat 1 Hillsborough Hillesdon Road Torquay TQ1 1QF

  T1:Oak tree semi mature. Approximate height of 10 meters. This tree has been reduced several times in the past to retain the height so that it doesn't block the light and view from the flats in the building. Requesting permission to reduce the tree by 1-2 meters back to where it has previously been done. T2; Multi stemmed Holm Oak, Mature, approx height of 20 meters. Part owned by 2 properties. This tree is multi stemmed with a large crown that grows over a garage, decking area and paths/steps. There's been a branch that's broken off over the winter that landed on the roof of the garden and caused damage and there is a massive issue with bird feces all over the paths, steps and handrails that leads up to the parking area and garages which is causing a hygiene problem as the residences rely heavily on these walkways and the handrails for support along with it being slippery under foot. The tree itself is has 12 stems some of which are very top heavy, after monitoring them in the wind there is a large degree of movement which will have to be managed. We are applying to reduce the height of the tree by 40-50% back to growth points where possible and remove the left hand limb so it doesn't overhang the pathways. This will retain the tree for the future as well as reducing the risk of anything happening to the tree and almost certainly remove the issue of bird feces.
