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 full applications applications
How this application type works
A full application seeks permission for a complete, detailed proposal in one go: siting, design, access and landscaping are all fixed at this stage. It is the standard route for new buildings, conversions and changes of use. The statutory target is eight weeks for smaller schemes and thirteen weeks for major development, though complex cases often take longer by agreement.

49 Selborne Road Hove BN3 3AL
T1- Mulberry: Reduce in height by approximately 50%, cutting back to suitable pollard points to achieve a finished height of around 4 metres. All deadwood will be removed. The works are proposed because the tree has outgrown the small courtyard garden, and reducing it back to pollard points will make it more manageable for future maintenance while allowing it to be retained at a suitable height.
