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.

Exeter And District Ski Club Clifton Hill Exeter EX1 2DJ
The trees identified within Groups G001 and G003 are protected by an Area Tree Preservation Order administered by Exeter City Council. The proposed works are limited, necessary, and designed to ensure the continued safe use of the adjacent ski slope, public highway, and associated infrastructure, whilst maintaining the long-term health and amenity value of the protected trees. Group G001 ? Mixed Tree Species Group G003 ? 2 ? Norway Maple (Acer platanoides) The trees within this area have developed lateral and overhanging branch growth that now encroaches into the operational envelope of the ski slope lighting columns and associated light splays. The proposed pruning is required to: ? Maintain safe and effective operation of the ski slope lighting system. ? Prevent physical conflict between tree growth and lighting infrastructure. ? Avoid shadowing and obstruction of light splays which are critical to safe slope use, particularly during low-light conditions. The proposed works are limited to: ? Pruning back branch growth from behind the ski slope lights to achieve a minimum clearance of approximately 2.0 metres, including light splays. ? Retention of primary structural limbs, with pruning confined to appropriate secondary and tertiary growth only. ? All final cuts made at suitable growth points to minimise stress and maintain natural form. The works represent routine arboricultural management and will not adversely affect the trees? health, structure, or contribution to local amenity. Gladstone Road Group G001 ? Row of Mature & Semi-Mature Oak Trees (Quercus sp.) The oak trees along Gladstone Road have developed lower crown growth and dense ivy coverage which now encroaches into the highway corridor, reducing vertical clearance and obscuring road signage and street lighting. The proposed works are required to: ? Achieve a minimum vertical clearance of approximately 5.6 metres above road level, in line with highway clearance requirements. ? Improve visibility of road
