   Awaiting decision

   Decision expected by 12 October 2026, 8 weeks from validation under the statutory target for most applications. Extensions of time are common and are agreed case by case.

   Epsom and Ewell took a median of 51 days over the applications it decided in the last year.

This application is with Epsom and Ewell 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.

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.

  The tree is the single pine tree (30/T26) at the property; the works involve underpinning the nearest parts of the property to the tree to a depth as explained in the method statement - the precise depth depends upon the depth of roots found. This work does not need planning permission based on the Town & Country Planning Act s55(2)(a) definition of development. However, the works will cut roots of the pine tree & thus this application is submitted in case the council consider it necessary. These works are necessitated as a result of refusal of tree works application 23/00806/TPO. The reason for the works are due to root-induced clay shrinkage subsidence. In the event this application is refused then a more expensive engineering option (e.g. a piled raft) will be necessary although it may have no significantly less impact on the pine tree. The reasonably foreseeable loss arising from the council's refusal of this application may be as much as £200,000 as alternative accommodation for several months will be required.
