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.

ree T1 is an Arizona Cypress located just inside my boundary, adjacent to the driveway shared with number 12. It is a mature tree of 40+ years, 15-20m high and with 40cm diameter multiple trunk. Trees T2 and T3 are located on adjacent council land, both are Lime?, mature of 40+years, 20+m high and with 60cm trunks.Remove Tree T1 to alleviate overbearing presence and proximity, low amenity value, excessive branch fall, shading to properties and significant interference to satellite reception.
