What a grant of permission means
The process from here
Permission has been granted, usually subject to conditions listed on the decision notice, some of which must be discharged before work starts. The decision notice on the council portal sets out exactly what was approved.
Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses. Neighbours cannot appeal a grant; challenging one means judicial review of how the decision was made, within tight time limits.
About trees applications
How this application type works
Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.

OTH/2024/1465 Granted
Millgarth, The Hill, Charing, TN27 0LU
T1 - Sycamore - to be removed - leaning at a severe 45 degree angle, directly towards where planning permission has been granted for new housebuilding, car ports and fencing. The ground behind and directly against the rear of the trunk is visibly lifted indicating rootplate lift, which in addition to the severe lean of the tree and the granted permission for building works, makes it sensible to remove this tree before building works begin. It is proposed to mitigate the loss of this tree with the planting of two English Oaks within the area covered by the group TPO.
