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.

URGENT 5-DAY NOTICE - CHANGE OF WORK - 26/0615/TTCA (Original Application) Following Jordan's recent revisit to inspect the Horse Chestnut, he has identified a significant deterioration in the tree's condition since the original 5-day notice was submitted. There is now extensive fungal activity present, with fruiting bodies visible in multiple locations around the main stem, together with further bark loss and signs of advanced decay. Given these findings, Jordan's professional opinion is that the tree has become increasingly compromised and that the previously proposed works are no longer the most appropriate course of action. In the interests of safety and good tree management, we now recommend reducing the tree to a monolith rather than carrying out the previously specified reduction works. This will retain the standing habitat value of the tree whilst significantly reducing the risk posed by further structural failure. We wanted to make you aware of this change before proceeding and would be happy to discuss it further if you have any questions. I have also attached an image to show our findings today. Please could you amend our 5 day application consent to reflect this work. We have emailed this information to the consent notice given but not received a reply and we are due to go and complete the work tomorrow and Wednesday so this is now very urgent. We tried to call to speak to a tree officer but was advised to email this information.

Manor Farm Church Street Litlington Cambridgeshire SG8 0QB
5-DAY NOTICE T1 Horse Chestnut - Inspect the principal union where three large stems originate from the same bifurcation point. There is evidence of decay within this union, and the recent failure of one substantial stem has left the two remaining stems in a potentially compromised condition. With the aim of improving the tree's safety and stability, remove the large stem forming the left-hand bifurcation at the principal union and reduce the remaining canopy by approximately 2/3 metres to suitable growth points to reduce wind sail effect and lessen the load on the remaining canopy. Clear site and remove all arisings and waste from site.
