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.

I note the concerns raised regarding insufficient detail and compliance with BS3998:2010 (Tree Work â?? Recommendations). I have provided a revised and more detailed specification below to ensure the proposed works are proportionate, clearly defined, and in line with current arboricultural best practice. � Trees and Proposed Works � T1 â?? Oak tree (ivy present, located approx. 8m from rear boundary, left side of garden) - Remove deadwood throughout crown - Light crown clean only (no significant reduction) - Retain natural shape and structure - Ivy to remain unless otherwise advised � T2 â?? Horse Chestnut (rear left boundary) - Crown reduction by up to 2 metres (maximum) on lateral spread only - Selective pruning of branches overhanging neighbouring properties - Removal of deadwood and crossing branches - Final crown to maintain balanced natural form � T3 â?? Horse Chestnut (rear centre/right boundary) - Crown reduction by up to 2â??2.5 metres where extending over neighbouring properties - Targeted reduction of end-weight on extended limbs - Removal of deadwood - No topping or excessive cutting proposed � T4 â?? Horse Chestnut (rear right corner) - Crown reduction by up to 2 metres focusing on branches overhanging adjacent properties - Light thinning where necessary to reduce sail effect - Removal of dead or weakly attached limbs � Justification for Works � The trees are mature and located along the rear boundary, with several branches extending over neighbouring residential properties and roofs. � In addition, I would like to highlight that small branches have previously fallen within my garden area, including in areas regularly used by my young child (aged almost 3). While no injury has occurred, this demonstrates a potential and ongoing risk from falling material, particularly during periods of wind or adverse weather. � The proposed works are therefore intended to: - Reduce end-weight on extended limbs - Minimise the likelihood of branch failure - Improve safety within the garden and adjacent properties - Maintain appropriate clearance from neighbouring structures - Ensure the continued health and structural integrity of the trees � Compliance � All works will be carried out by a qualified and insured tree surgeon in accordance with: - BS3998:2010 Tree Work Recommendations - Industry best practice for crown reduction and tree safety management � No trees are proposed for removal, and all works are designed to retain the amenity value and long-term health of the trees. � I trust this revised submission addresses the concerns raised and provides the necessary level of detail. I would be grateful if the application could be reconsidered accordingly. � Please let me know if any further information or a site visit is required.

If this dead limbs are not taken out they run the risk of failing and braking off and causing damage to neighbouring properties out buildings.
