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 full applications applications
How this application type works
A full application seeks permission for a complete, detailed proposal in one go: siting, design, access and landscaping are all fixed at this stage. It is the standard route for new buildings, conversions and changes of use. The statutory target is eight weeks for smaller schemes and thirteen weeks for major development, though complex cases often take longer by agreement.

Flat 10 Lytton House St Lukes Road South Torquay TQ2 5PA
Monterey Cypress (T1) - fell. reasons for felling: - There are a high number of weak, included unions at the multiple, ascending secondary stems from approximately 4m in height. A number of the included unions are noted with marginal longitudinal cracks and high levels of bark bucking and detached bark. quoted from tree survey - The tree appears to have been historically exposed to storm damage and major tree works. quoted from tree survey - A number of the secondary stems are noted with long with long , linear columns of dead bark/wood sections. quoted from tree survey - A high number of ascending stems are noted with twisting and bulges which is likely due to increased exposure as a result of previous tree works. quoted from tree survey - Within the upper crown there are high levels of hung failed/part failed sub lateral branches. the majority of these branches are on the southern aspect of the crown. quoted from tree survey - Historically there appears to have been a significant stem removed. Approximately 0.5m of the stem remains, which is decayed and extending back into the main stem. quoted from survey - since the survey was conducted, in 2017, the tree has two stems which are starting to come away at the included union approximately three meters from the ground and there are obvious signs of cracking and severe movement between the 2 stems and the trunk. As recommended by the tree survey whole tree removal is considered to be the best option. The tree has since continued to rapidly decline.
