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.

T1 and T2 Lime trees (13m high): Fell to ground level Both trees exhibit significant structural defects including large basal cavities at the root collar extending into the lower stem. These cavities indicate advanced decay within the load bearing section of the trees and are likely associated with historic damage and subsequent fungal degradation of structural wood. Decay at the base of the stem is a critical defect as it compromises the structural integrity of the tree at its primary support point. The extent of the cavities suggests a reduction in the trees ability to safely withstand normal wind loading. In addition, both trees display poor structural form with elongated stems and limited crown development, indicating reduced vitality and long term viability. The trees provide limited arboricultural or landscape value and are unlikely to develop into structurally sound specimens.

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.
