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

A dying conifer in our enclosed rear garden measuring approx 15/18ft high with a 6ft base diameter needs to be removed. The tree is overlooked by a 25ft high wall.

The tree is dying and going brown with little greenery showing. We are requesting the complete removal and disposal of the tree flush with the ground. The tree is not protected by a TPO but is within a conservation area hence the request.
