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.

64 Grangefields Drive, Rothley, Leicestershire, LE7 7NB
T1, Oak, Crown reduce the southern side of the crown by 2-3m. Reduce the remaining crown by 1-2m to balance.(see pics attached for approx. pruning line) Pruning works to be the final stage of a 10 year program. Although the original application is now out of date. The final stage was delayed due to a lack of internal growth /Pruning points available. We now feel that the inner and lower crown has produced enough growth to allow the reduction needed. Inonotus Dryadues was present during the original inspection (June 2009) but was not present on the recent visit.(Jan 2026) Ganoderma is visible at the base of the trunk with several decay pockets between the buttresses showing signs of white rot. The western upright limb has several wood pecker holes which suggests that hollowing / decay is present within the upper crown.
