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.

Works to tree protected by a TPO. 1 is a Mature Beech. Proposed works: Fell to ground level. Reasons for works: T1 has for the last 2 years shown signs of a fungal polypore attack by meripilus giganteus (See attached photos). This year's leaf growth has been very sparse, an indicator of stress and dysfunction. Failure of T1 could be cataclysmic, due its size and position, as it stands near a two-road junction. The owner of the property has agreed to replant a row of silver birch on the boundary , on his land.
