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.

Yew x 2 - Toxicity Risk: All parts of the Yew tree are highly poisonous to humans and animals. These trees in a community garden used by children, families, and dogs presents a significant and ongoing safety risk, create an unavoidable hazard, particularly for young children who may accidentally ingest plant material. ? Animal Safety: Dogs visiting the garden are at risk of poisoning from chewing or ingesting Yew foliage or seeds. Removal of the trees is the only practical long-term measure to eliminate the toxicity hazard in a high-use public space. replanting proposal For the tree that is closest to the house we propose to replant a Torbay palm as it will look attractive and grow to a good height once mature without impacting on the house foundations. For the second tree that is further away for the house we propose a maple tree as it will be impressive in stature and look attractive for the community

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.
