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.

Front of House: T1: Sycamore: Remove lower epicormic to 3m. T2: Holly: Trim to compact shape. G1: 4 x Olives: Reduce height by 0.5m. Rear Garden: T3: Purple plum (8m): Reduce height by 2m back to previous. T6: Holm oak (10m): Crown reduce by 2m to main canopy. T7: Ash (12m): Fell to ground level as tree is very close to neighbouring building and chimney stack. Repeated pruning to keep it at a size suitable for location will result unsightly regrowth and decay at pruning points. The tree is growing into and hampering the development of T6 Holm Oak which is a highly important tree in the context of the rear garden and surrounding area. Tree is at risk to ash dieback in the future. T9: Holly (7m): Reduce back from garden by 1m. T10: Cherry (5m): Crown reduce by 1m and remove rose. T11: Strawberry tree (5m): Crown reduce by 1m. T12: Sumac (6m): Crown reduce by 0.5m. T13: Sycamore (12m): Crown reduce by 2m and remove 2 lower branches that are encroaching neighbouring property. All to keep trees at a size suitable for their location and as part of regular maintenance. T8 Mimosa - 7m - reduce crown by 1m

WHITEHOUSE, 34B FOYLE ROAD, LONDON, SE3 7RH
The very large white popular (Populus alba) has a large limb growing over the property roof. The end of the limb has a large rot pocket it and the rotten centre has fallen out nearly hitting the residents child playing under the tree. There is still a lot of growth and weight on the end of the limb and there is a very strong fear the limb may fail either damaging the property or hitting the residents child playing of family in the driveway. I strongly suggest the limb is reduced by around 2mtrs back to sound wood again to eliminate the risk of future snap outs. As this work is extremely high priority can I request it on a 5 day emergency decision.

Fell Olive tree in raised front garden very close to the side wall of the garage. A structural surveyor noted that the root system of the tree is pushing against this wall, and has caused cracks to appear, and indicated that the removal of this tree is necessary to preserve the wall from further damage.
