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.

4 Pond Close Kenley CR8 5FG
Ash tree (Fraximus excelsion). Most branches are dead and the rest of it is dying. Located close to outbuilding in my garden and the neighbour's shed. I am concerned the tree may fall imminently. Needs urgent action - fell/remove tree. There are many other trees close to this Ash tree and another younger growing tree within 1meter so no need to replant.

4 Pond Close Kenley CR8 5FG
The tree needs to be felled because its main branches are dead and more parts of the tree are dying and may fall on top of existing out building in the neighbour's garden. It is an oak tree.
