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.

T/00557/25/TCA Granted
The ash tree is situated in a woodland that belongs to The Piscatorial Society. The tree is adjancet to and overhanding the London Road. Exact grid reference: SU 48243 48545
A semi-mature ash tree (within the Freefolk Conservation ARea) is situated alongside the London Road (NGR SU 48243 48545). The ash been flagged as a hazard by Highways. The tree isn't the responsibility of highways and belongs to The Piscatorial Society. The Society would like the tree to be removed as per highways recomendations. Previously a large codiminant limb has torn out onto the road and the ash tree is showing ealry signs of dieback. A large over extended lateral (also codominant) is also of particualr concern as it is over the road and regularly being clipped by HGVs and buses. With perimission we would like to dismantle the tree to ground level. The works will require a lane closure and temporary traffic ligths in order to facilitate the use of MEWP and chipper. We are in the process of obtating license for lane closure.
