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 advertising applications
How this application type works
Advertisement consent controls signs, hoardings and other adverts. The council may only judge two things: amenity, meaning the effect on the appearance of the building and area, and public safety, chiefly whether a sign distracts road users or obstructs sight lines. Other planning considerations, such as competition between businesses, do not apply.

We are seeking permission to reduce the height of the tree to the level that it has previously been trimmed and to remove a couple of branches that have died, we have had a couple of branches break off during high winds, reducing the height should eliminate this problem and also remove the risk of damage to overhead cables that pass across our property and are currently below one or two of the trees branches.
