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

16 Becondale Road London SE19 1QJ
It is a tree (not sure which type - it may be an Ash tree) in the front right corner of our private garden. Reduce the size of one tree in the rear garden by cutting back the crown by approximately 50%, or remove the tree entirely (if reduction is not considered sufficient). The tree currently overhangs the patio area and significantly restricts natural light to the garden and rear of the property. It also overhangs near a bedroom window, where birds regularly perch, causing persistent noise disturbance. In addition, the tree results in a substantial accumulation of bird droppings on the patio, making the space difficult to use. The proposed works are intended to improve light, usability of the garden, and residential amenity, while maintaining the overall character of the area where possible.
