About lawful development applications
A lawful development certificate is a legal determination that existing or proposed works do not need planning permission; the merits of the scheme are not considered. More in our guide to planning application types.

Flat A 1st Flr 10 St James Road Exeter EX4 6PU
We require roofing work to be done on the property which is affecting the top floor flat and leading to water damage. To do this the large tree needs to be trimmed/ removed to enable scaffolding to be erected. I have spoken to a tree surgeon who suggested it may be best to remove it entirely. Conversations are on going with them and a footing contractor and the top floor flats owner and occupant.
