   Awaiting decision

   Decision expected by 7 October 2026, 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.

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.

  T1 - Mature Ash 'Fraxineus excelsior' - Dismantle, fell & remove to ground level Remove all cut material from site & return to a Teign Trees depot for recycling, leaving the area safe, clean & tidy. Reasons for the proposed removal works; This is a mature Ash tree showing signs of ash dieback disease and its condition is likely to worsen over the summer months. Due to the tree position & further deterioration in the condition of the tree would make manual removal very difficult & potentially unsafe. The neighbouring trees are all showing signs of ash dieback, therefore we feel early removal is essential. Our client Mr Thompson is very keen to replant with X2 native English Oak Trees 'Quercus robur' in replacement. Both replacement trees will be of Heavy Standard size (12-14cm girth, 3.00-3.50 metres in height) & a full aftercare programme will be put in place to ensure the future health of the trees is maintained.
