What a grant of permission means
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.

Robinia pseudoacia T1 & T2 (rear garden). Remove 2 low quality trees (localised decay, previous branch failures and history of heavy pruning due to location) and grind stumps. Plant 2 x replacement standard trees (species TBC) in next growing season to provide long-term amenity. Rear garden location and presence of surrounding trees / buildings will result in minimal impact on wider public visual amenity especially when viewed from Aberdeen Park.
