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.

79A Dyke Road Brighton BN1 3JE
One mature pedunculate oak (Quercus robur) is located within the back garden of 79a Dyke Road. This tree has a DBH of 52 and a height of circa 13.5m. Gandoderma applanatum brackets are apparent on the stem of the tree and Collybia Fusipes (Spindle Shank) has been noted at the base of the tree following the rootplates. Both of these fugal infections are known to cause mechanical failure. Due to the proximity of residential properties 79a Dyke Road, 79 Dyke Road and commercial properties Brighton Dental Centre, New tattoo studio and the apparent fungal decay on the tree, we would like to cut the oak tree to a height of 5m. This will remove the sail of the crown and reduce the risk of future failure during heavy winds with resultant damage to property. All epicormic growth will also be removed from the stem and the remnant monolith will allow for some ecological and aesthetical benefits to remain.
