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 lawful development applications
How this application type works
A lawful development certificate is a legal determination, not a planning judgement. It asks the council to confirm either that existing use or works are lawful, often through the passage of time, or that a proposal would not need planning permission at all. The applicant must prove the facts; the merits of the scheme are not considered.

5 Ossian Road, Hornsey, London, N4 4DX
Group of mature Sycamore trees that are currently heavily clad in ivy at the rear of properties 1 - 11 Ossian Road. These trees belong to Parkland Walk - please see attached photos of email from Alex Fraser, Programme Manager, Urban Forest & Nature Recovery. T1 - T9: Group of mature Sycamore trees (Acer pseudoplatanus) : sensitive crown reduction on all trees to suitable pruning points, reducing the overall height of each tree by approximately 2 to 2.5 metres and reducing the lateral spread by approximately 2 metres. All pruning works will be carried out in accordance with BS3998:2010 – Tree Work Recommendations, ensuring that cuts are made to appropriate secondary growth points in order to retain the natural form, structural integrity, and vitality of the trees. As part of the works, the ivy currently covering the stems and primary scaffold branches will be carefully removed. The removal of ivy is recommended to support the long-term management and wellbeing of the trees. At present, the dense ivy coverage obscures the trunks and main structural unions, preventing effective visual inspection of the trees’ structural condition. This coverage may potentially conceal signs of decay, cavities, fungal fruiting bodies, or other structural defects. Removing the ivy will therefore allow the trees to be properly inspected and monitored in the future. In addition, ivy can increase wind loading within the crown and retain moisture against the bark, so its removal will assist in maintaining better physiological conditions for the trees. Reason for works: The crowns of these trees are demonstrating extensive deadwood, and have gradually expanded and are now restricting light levels into the rear gardens and properties of six adjoining residential dwellings. The proposed crown reduction is intended to improve daylight penetration into the gardens and rear elevations of these properties while maintaining the trees within a size that is appropriate for their garden setting. The works also form part of an ongoing management approach, as similar reduction works have previously been carried out on the trees. All green waste generated during the works will remain on site. The arisings will be cut and stacked in neat habitat piles in suitable locations, as requested by the Programme Manager at the Urban Forest & Nature Recovery Programme. This approach will provide valuable habitat for invertebrates and other small wildlife while supporting local biodiversity objectives and avoiding the unnecessary removal of organic material from the site.
