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 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.

Silver Birch (289/T74) removal of dead branches affected by Copper Beech (289/T75) possibly. At the same time would seek guidance if the Copper Beech needs to be pruned due to its size. There are a number of dead branches to the silver Birch (T74) which may affect its future growth as the branches have been dead for some years. The Copper Beech (T75) has grown substantially over the years and so may need pruning
