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.

Northernhay Park Lodge New North Road Exeter EX4 4ET
G1 X 10 Leylandii trees Remove ten Leylandii trees situated along the Eastern boundary, which have arisen as a result of a lapsed hedge. G2 X 10 Remove ten Leylandii trees situated along the northern boundary, which have arisen as a result of a lapsed hedge. All stumps shall be ground out to enable replanting with 16x Western Red Cedar. Justification - The proposed works form part of a long-term management strategy to address excessive shading, poor hedge form, and the unsuitability of the existing Leylandii (Cuprocyparis leylandii) for their current location. The trees situated along the northern and eastern boundaries have originated from previously unmanaged hedge lines which have been allowed to develop into individual trees following the lapse of regular cyclical hedge maintenance. As a result, the trees have become excessively tall and dominant within the garden environment, causing significant shading and loss of natural light to the property and associated amenity areas. The Leylandii along the eastern boundary are also having an adverse impact on the adjacent railway corridor due to their size, density, and proximity to the boundary. Ongoing growth is likely to increase future management requirements and may contribute to concerns relating to encroachment, shading, and general maintenance adjacent to the railway infrastructure. The proposed removal works are considered appropriate arboricultural management to restore the boundary areas to a more suitable and sustainable condition. The trees offer limited individual arboricultural merit due to their origin as unmanaged hedge growth. The proposed works will: Improve natural light levels to the garden and property. Reduce excessive dominance and shading along the boundary areas. Prevent further encroachment and future management issues adjacent to the railway boundary. Allow for future replacement planting or more appropriate boundary management, if required. All works shall be carried out in accordance
