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.

Ground Floor Flat 39 Powderham Crescent Exeter EX4 6BZ
Magnolia tree in rear left corner of back garden at 39 Powderham Crescent. Complete removal of tree required as tree has caused both rear wall at 39 Powderham Crescent to become unstable and boundary wall between 38 and 39 Powderham Crescent to be unstable. Not planning on replacing the tree as any future tree in this location would impact the boundary walls again in future.
