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.

We would like to remove the large tree from outside the house and replace it with a magnolia. This is because the current tree blocks light into our property and doesn’t offer any flowers. We are hoping to plant a magnolia which lets in more light to our property and will provide joy of spring flowers to both our family and people walking by. We think this tree will be much more in keeping with the style of the area than the more tropical variety there is today.
