What happens while it is decided
The process from here
This application is with Elmbridge 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.

1 Speer Road Thames Ditton Surrey KT7 0PJ
Thames Ditton Conservation Area - T1 - Crab Apple - Remove Crab Apple to ground level. Current dimensions: Height 6m (20ft), crown spread 5.2m (17ft). Reason for works: The Crab Apple is growing in an unsuitable location within a relatively confined garden and has now outgrown the available space. The tree is becoming dominant within the garden, restricting light and competing with surrounding ornamental plants and trees. The rear boundary of the property adjoins a railway corridor containing a substantial belt of mature trees of mixed species. As a result of competition for light from these neighbouring trees, the Crab Apple has developed an asymmetric crown form and is increasingly growing inwards towards the garden. The removal of the Crab Apple will improve the growing conditions for the surrounding vegetation and allow for better management of the garden space. The loss of this individual tree is not considered to have a significant impact on the visual amenity of the area due to the extensive tree cover beyond the rear boundary, which includes a diverse range of mature species such as Ash, Walnut, Cherry and Honey Locust. The proposed works are therefore considered reasonable arboricultural management and will not adversely affect the character or appearance of the locality.
