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.

Merlewood 25 Ashley Road Thames Ditton Surrey KT7 0NH
EL:20/33 - T1 - Sycamore We propose a crown reduction of up to 2.5m to help reduce wind loading on the structurally compromised stem, thereby minimizing the risk of structural failure. The tree is multi-stemmed and has a cavity at approximately 6m, which is expelling slime flux???an indication of decay. Reducing the crown will improve the tree???s stability, promote healthier growth, and potentially extend its lifespan. Additionally, this work will allow more natural light into the garden of 19 Ashley Road, enhancing both the property???s environment and the overall health of the tree
