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.

**5 DAY NOTICE** T1: Ash (Fraxinus excelsior) - Failed limb to be processed and removed. The remaining tree is to be removed to ground level. Reason: Had a limb fail which is being held in place by adjacent holm oak on the edge of a slope, above the property and driveway. Main tree has decay, large woodpecker holes (indicating soft wood), large bracket fungi present on the stem which is likely affecting the structural integrity and without action, increases the likelihood of additional failures.
