The process from here
This application is with East Cambridgeshire 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 lawful development applications
How this application type works
A lawful development certificate is a legal determination, not a planning judgement. It asks the council to confirm either that existing use or works are lawful, often through the passage of time, or that a proposal would not need planning permission at all. The applicant must prove the facts; the merits of the scheme are not considered.

T1 Sycamore - Fell to wall height and treat to prevent regrowth or remove if required. The tree is located between Ely Methodist Church and the neighbouring property at 7 Chapel Street. The tree is growing out of the boundary wall, and its roots are entwined with the old stone wall; it appears this has caused the wall's collapse. The tree requires removal for the wall to be reinstated.
