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 five 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.

FRON DEG, Pentre Road, Cilcain, Mold, CH7 5PD
2 x lime trees, described as T1 and T2 below, as discussed with assistant tree officer: T1 (the more north-easterly positioned tree) Height: circa 15m / Notes: Epicormic shoots around stem circumference to circa 3.5m height restrict visibility of the trees basal area and lower stem; epicormics also exacerbate the trees interception of sunlight, affecting light levels in the dwelling through south facing windows. Recommendations: Re-pollard to historic pruning points throughout crown. Remove laterally growing primary limbs attached to the main stem below 7m height (above ground level), see Image A for an indication of which limbs this would affect. Prune epicormic growth attached to the main stem below c.4m height. T2 (the more south-westerly positioned tree) Height: c.14.5m / Notes: As above, RE epicormic growth around stem circumference. Recommendations: Re-pollard to historic pruning points throughout crown Remove laterally growing limbs attached to the main stem and in the vicinity of the stems primary bifurcations, below 8m height. See Image B for an indication of which limbs this would affect. Prune epicormic growth attached to the main stem below c.4m height.
