Proposal
A1 (T1) - Oak - Section fell tree closest to the house to as close to ground level as possible. Reason: This tree is codominant tree of a pair of Oaks. It has a heavy lean away from its partner toward the house, its removal will leave the main tree to be the stronger and better shaped specimen and allow room for it to mature, as well as removing the risk that possible failure of the leaning tree posess to the adjacent property. Photograph 2 shows the low visual impact its removal will cause.

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.

A1 - x2 Oak - Remove lowest limb growing towards the house from the smallest stem. Lightly crown reduce remainder of this stem by up to 1.5m by crown thinning the branch tips to re-shape up to 10%, follow that shape throughout the largest Oak tree, again thinning the branch tips to reduce the canopy up to 1.5m. Crown lift the canopy to 4m above ground level by removing out grown epicormic and sub-lateral branches only. Reason: The lowest limb nearest the house has in the past received heavy pruning which due to the trees age has not reacted with callus wood reliably, resulting in branch decay. The canopy has grown out so that the branches are touching the building; removing this limb down to the first branch break (approx 2ft away from the stem) will be a better long term solution to keeping the canopy away from the building and the removal of this limb will not detract from the shape both trees together have as the balance of the canopy will be equalled. The crown lift and light reduction will allow more light into the picture window of the building and re-balance the upper crown.
