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 householder applications
How this application type works
Householder applications cover work to an existing house and its garden: extensions, loft and garage conversions, porches, outbuildings and similar alterations within the boundary of the home. They cannot be used to create a separate dwelling or change what the building is used for. Councils aim to decide them within eight weeks, and immediate neighbours are usually notified and given a chance to comment.

P2026/0380/TRE Granted
Ground Floor Flat, 46 St George's Avenue, London, N7 0HD
Rear garden- Honey Bean Locust (T1): Situated 2.7metres from property, planted close to the boundary with number 48 St.Georges Avenue. Crown reduction of this tree to 4 metres , to enable tree to be maintained upto 5 metres maximum height in future due to close proximity of tree to my property, with purpose of reducing potential for damage to property above ground from branches, and from root damage below ground to my property. Similarly to minimise risk of larger branches overhanging and impacting on the neighbouring property (number 48). I am aware this tree has a large ultimate height potential and I wish to make provision now to enable a straightforward maintenance plan for the future by reducing the crown ahead of this coming season of growth. My rear garden has many other mature trees situated further from the property that I do not wish to reduce in size or scale, I would like to make the point that I try to maintain my rear garden with a high visual amenity value overall for the area together with a wide diversity of mature tree species (in comparison with many surrounding gardens). However this single tree in my rear garden concerned with this application is very close to my property and my reasoning therefore is that I wish to take action towards minimising potential risk of damage to property. Front garden- Leylandi conifer (T2): Situated approximately 2metres from property, planted close to the boundary with number 48 St.Georges Avenue. Crown reduction- Leylandi to be pruned to 2metres height, to enable easier ongoing future maintenance thereafter at this height as a bush/hedge. Cordyline Australis (T3): Crown reduction in terms of height - pruned to 4.5 metres height.
