Proposal
Undertake the following works to the three Oak trees covered by Tree Preservation Order number DFTPO 14. T1 (Quercus robur): Remove all deadwood 25mm diameter throughout the crown to reduce risk of limb failure. Sever ivy at the base by 1 metre to prevent further colonisation and to allow for full stem inspection. Clear basal vegetation within a 0.5 metre radius to expose the root collar and facilitate visual assessment. T2 (Quercus robur): Remove all deadwood 25mm diameter throughout the crown. Clear basal vegetation within a 0.5 metre radius to allow for inspection of the buttress roots and lower stem. T3 (Quercus robur): Remove all deadwood 25mm diameter throughout the crown. Sever ivy at the base by 1 metre. Remove epicormic growth from the main stem up to a height of 6 metres to improve visibility of the trunk structure and allow for detailed inspection. Clear basal vegetation within a 0.5 metre radius.

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.
