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 full applications applications
How this application type works
A full application seeks permission for a complete, detailed proposal in one go: siting, design, access and landscaping are all fixed at this stage. It is the standard route for new buildings, conversions and changes of use. The statutory target is eight weeks for smaller schemes and thirteen weeks for major development, though complex cases often take longer by agreement.

(leaving a remaining canopy width of 8-10m and canopy height of 14 - 15.5m) Justification for works- The works are proposed to allow more natural light into the property and neighbouring gardens and to prevent the tree from obstructing views. The pruning will be carried out in line with good arboricultural practice, maintaining the trees health, form, and amenity value while keeping it at a suitable size for its setting. The tree has previously been reduced by 25% and recovered very well.
