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.

Stanhope House, 38-40 Shepherds Hill, Hornsey, London, N6 5RR
Works to trees protected by a TPO. T1 Lombardy Poplar - tree is located on the outer edge of the property boundary on the side of the public footpath. Tree has a large cavity in the main crown break. The tree was heavily pollarded around 3 years ago to eleviate the stress on the stems and stop a possible failure. Tree has recovered very well and has a new crown area. Reduce new crown by around 3m of current height whilst maintaining a good crown, to reduce wind loading on the stems. T2 Maple - tree is located next to the Lombardy Poplar on the edge of the property. The tree has suffered with Honey Fungus over the last couple of years and has subsequently died off. The client has planted a replacement Silver Birch tree next to the Maple to replace the amenity value of the tree. Fell to ground level.
