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.

2025/1152 Granted
102 Tilt Road Cobham Surrey KT11 3HQ
Cobham The Tilt Conservation Area - Seeking permission to remove one overgrown, non-native (Thuja) tree within the Tilt Conservation Area. The reasons for removal are outlined below: Character Appraisal: The identified tree is non-native, show signs of decay, and have reached a mature height that is inappropriate for their location. They do not make a positive contribution to the character and appearance of the Tilt Conservation Area, as outlined in the Tilt Conservation Area Character Appraisal & Management Plan. Situated at an important boundary location, the trees have become overly dominant and have a detrimental impact on the cohesiveness of the surrounding housing. Safety Concerns: The tree overgrowth has already caused significant damage to the road on Ashfford Gardens - the tree now significantly overhangs the public road. This presents a safety hazard for both pedestrians and passing vehicles, especially during high winds or adverse weather conditions. The risk of falling branches adds further urgency to the request for action. This also presents an ongoing trip hazard and a clear legal risk to the Council if a member of the public were to sustain injuries from tripping (cf JMP vs Cardiff Council, 2018). Loss of Light: The heavy overgrowth of the trees (up to 10m+ in height and 6m+ in width) significantly reduces natural light at the rear of the property at 102 Tilt Road (and adjoining priorities). The dense canopy blocks sunlight to the back of the house, impacting the living environment and outdoor amenity space. Energy & environment Increased energy consumption: Due to the lack of natural light and warmth, residents are relying heavily on artificial lighting and heating - up to 14 hours a day, 12 months a year. This has both financial and environmental consequences, increasing household bills and carbon emissions. Proposed Replanting and Conservation Enhancement: The trees will be replaced by native species, including hedgerows and understory vegetation,
