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 lawful development applications
How this application type works
A lawful development certificate is a legal determination, not a planning judgement. It asks the council to confirm either that existing use or works are lawful, often through the passage of time, or that a proposal would not need planning permission at all. The applicant must prove the facts; the merits of the scheme are not considered.

Chatsworth 15 Courtney Place Cobham Surrey KT11 2BE
EL:97/06 - Tree Species: Sweet Chestnut (Castanea sativa) and Lime (Tilia species) Location: Both trees are located in the back garden. Proposed Work: We propose to reduce the overall canopy of both the Sweet Chestnut and Lime trees by approximately 1.5 to 2 meters. This reduction will involve carefully pruning back branches to an appropriate growth point, ensuring the trees maintain a natural and balanced appearance. Reason for Work: The size and density of the canopies have resulted in a significant reduction in natural light to both our property and the neighbouring property. The lack of sunlight has contributed to the formation of dampness on one of our exterior walls, which poses a long-term risk to the building's structure. Additionally, the branches are heavily weighted, with some having broken off historically, increasing the risk of further breakage and potential property damage. Additional Considerations: All work will be undertaken with care to preserve the health and aesthetic quality of the trees, ensuring their long-term vitality while addressing safety and property concerns.

EL:97/06 Horse Chestnut (rear garden) - Reduce overall canopy by 2m to appropriate growth points following BS3998 standards. Lift the lower canopy by removing the two lowest branches back to the main stem. The objective of the reduction is to keep the tree at a smaller size away from the house, before larger pruning wounds would be created by a future more severe reduction.
