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 telecoms applications
How this application type works
Telecommunications applications cover masts, antennas and cabinets, most of which come forward as prior approval cases under permitted development rules. The council typically has 56 days to consider siting and appearance only. The need for the network itself is treated as established, so objections carry most weight where they address visual impact or siting.

Please refer to the tree survey p. 35 for aerial sketch plan. Additional seperate sketch plan has also been provided with street names, addresses, north direction indicator as requested. T5 - Robinia pseudo acacia: remove due to poor condition including dieback of canopy and dead branches, as described in the tree report (on the TPO, this is numbered a part of a group of trees, G2). This tree has been in decline for a number of years, is unattractive and has limited amenity value. We are concerned that this tree may pose a danger in case of storm. We think the landscape would be improved by removal and replacement per our proposed plan. T6 - Ilex aquifolium: remove to facilitate proposed landscaping scheme T4 - Taxus beccata: remove to facilitate proposed landscaping scheme. This is a self seeded tree that is growing underneath more dominant tree (T3 Ash) so has limited potential in the garden. These trees will be replaced with 3 birch (Betula) trees. Approximate size 45L 10-12cm multi stem. Please see proposed planting plan for location of new trees.
