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 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.

1 Culverland Close Exeter EX4 6HR
T1 - Holm Oak tree: Prune back the lateral growth only that overhangs the rear garden of No 2 Culverland close. This will be between 0.75-1 metre in length, and will consist of re-growth only (from the pruning cuts made the last time the tree was pruned) .Diameter cuts no greater than 3 cm. - The lowest branch arising from the main stem at approx. 5 metres above ground level, (and is closest to the top of the bowling club roof), will be pruned back to the previous growth points. this will remove again 0.75-1metre of regrowth, with 3 cm diameter cuts. Reasons: The Neighbours at No. 2 would like to maximise the light entering their back garden. Removing any more than the re-growth will severely affect the form, health and vigour of the tree. So I have recommended here to prune back to the growth points, minimising the cut size, and so decreasing the risk of infection.
