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.

My report firmly recommends that the Ash tree within the front garden is fully and permanently removed, owing to the high risk of the tree and its roots causing subsidence in future years. Specifically, pollarding is considered cost inefficient and inadequate for this type of fast growing tree. An arboriculturist should advise on any permissions required from the Council.

81 Upper Tollington Park, Hornsey, London, N4 4LP
Works to tree protected by a TPO. We wish to carry out a reduction on this tree of 8m off the top and 3m off each side. It is a Birch tree. The reason for the reduction is that the tree is getting far too large (which is why we asked for its removal) and obscures light into our house and neighbouring residences. We have provided a very simple plan, since the location and everything else about the tree is recorded and clearly shown on the TPO. We attach a photo of the tree.
