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.

Ash Trees G10 and G11 on map. Original application (T/00539/22/TCA) for which approval obtained, specified reducing these groups of ash trees to circa 7m. I have now had a close look at groups G10 and G11with Josh from Groundlord. In an attempt to limit the biodiversity loss from felling all these trees to circa 7m , as per the application, we felt it would be more appropriate (and attractive) to reduce those with little biodiversity showing in the trunk or branches down to base or hedge height but leave those with biodiversity interest at a higher height, retaining the branches where appropriate. We would also add some extra features such as bat boxes, interesting habitat for insects etc.
