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.

Ash (T1) - fell because the tree's canopy fails to contribute to the visual amenities that enhance the character and setting of the Conservation Area. A healthy and well-structured canopy is essential for maintaining the aesthetic and ecological value of such areas, providing shade, habitat for wildlife, and visual cohesion with the surrounding landscape.

75 Stoke Gabriel Road Brixham TQ5 0NQ
Ash Tree at the bottom boundary of garden. Fell this tree as it is suffering from ash dieback (shows considerable loss of foliage over its crown). The tree overhangs road "The Orchards" and is close enough to possibly fall on these houses. Would look to replant with something that can be managed to hedge size.

3 x Norway Maples at the north boundary of the property require a reduction in height and spread. The work to be carried out is as per previous approved applications. The trees will be cut back by a professional tree surgeon to previous pruning points as recommended by the tree surgeon. Related works were approved in 2019 (AT/2019/0102) and in 2017 (AT/2017/0038). The reduction is required as the trees dominate the rear of the house, shade the garden and block the gutters with fallen leaves. In addition 1 x Sycamore on the southern boundary of the property and overhanging the road will be cut back to previous pruning points by a qualified tree surgeon. This work was also carried out and approved in 2017 (AT/2017/0161), 2014 (AT/2014/0025) and 2011 (AT/2011/0038). This will be carried out to reduce overhang on the highway and will provide more light to the neighbourhood.
