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.

BH2025/02531 Granted
Flat 1 4 Cromwell Road Hove BN3 3EA
T1 Sycamore at Flat 1, 4 Cromwell Road BN3 3EA. Requesting the removal of a tree which is excessively large for a residential garden and is in very close proximity to the boundary wall of the properties in Oxford Mews. We are seeking a permanent solution to the ongoing risk of danger afforded by falling branches and flooding from blocked drains as a result of the continual shedding of foliage. The lack of airflow caused by the overly large canopy has led to damp and darkness at the property of the applicant, which has ongoing health implications. The crown of the tree was significantly pruned in September 2022 but has now regrown and remains problematic to the properties in Oxford Mews.
