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 householder applications
How this application type works
Householder applications cover work to an existing house and its garden: extensions, loft and garage conversions, porches, outbuildings and similar alterations within the boundary of the home. They cannot be used to create a separate dwelling or change what the building is used for. Councils aim to decide them within eight weeks, and immediate neighbours are usually notified and given a chance to comment.

Tree Preservation Order EL:11/37: T9 - oak tree in rear green. Most of this tree's canopy hangs outside the owner's property and over Claygate Lodge Close, in particular the front drive and garden of 3 Claygate Lodge Close. The branches hang so low that food delivery vehicles cannot pass underneath and the extremities of some branches are less than 2 metres from the ground. It is oppressive. Lateral growth within the owner's property is suppressed by competition from conifers. Proposal: Crown lift to 4 metres over Claygate Lodge Close (the street and garden of no. 3). Reduce lateral spread over 3 Claygate Lodge Close by 1.5 metres. Current spread 8 metres, final spread 6.5 metres. Reduce height by 1.5 metres. Current height 18 metres, final height 16.5 metres.

Claygate Foley Estate Conservation Area - Eucalyptus tree. The proposal is to completely remove the tree located in position 1 on the Site Plan (Doc 1) and shown in the picture (Doc 2) Its branches are interfering with an adjacent magnolia tree, which we are keen to allow space to continue to develop. Its growth and shallow roots (as shown in Doc 3) are removing disproportionate water from the ground with potential damage to a nearby pear tree which is c. 100 years old. The tree is not indigenous to the country / area. We have plans to plant new more appropriate trees in our garden which will more than offset the loss to the environment from the removal of this single tree. We have never observed a single nest in the tree or any other form of wildlife. (Its branches move too fluidly making it unstable for nests). Conifer / leylandii hedges. The proposal is to completely remove these high trees / hedges located in position 2 on the Site Plan (Doc 1) and shown in the picture (Doc 4). These are old and are higher / wider than they need to be. They will be replaced by more suitable / less dense alternatives.
