All cuts to be back to the last cut points. Crown lift the northerly and north easterly low underside branches to provide a clearance of 6-8m above ground level, resulting in small diameter cuts of 8-10cm diameters. (Page 1 picture). Remove or shorten by 50% dense maturing shoots from the southerly and westerly laterals that spread across the tiles. Reshape the westerly crown hemisphere to the last pruning points.

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.
