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 full applications applications
How this application type works
A full application seeks permission for a complete, detailed proposal in one go: siting, design, access and landscaping are all fixed at this stage. It is the standard route for new buildings, conversions and changes of use. The statutory target is eight weeks for smaller schemes and thirteen weeks for major development, though complex cases often take longer by agreement.

P2026/0981/TRE Granted
123 Highbury New Park, London
The eucalyptus tree is causing ongoing and progressive structural damage to the property. A structural engineer’s report (attached) confirms that the tree’s proximity to the building (approximately 2.44 metres from the rear extension) and its high water demand are resulting in significant soil moisture extraction from shrinkable London Clay beneath shallow foundations. This has led to repeated cycles of clay shrinkage and rehydration, causing differential ground movement that is manifesting as cracking to the rear extension, internal walls, external masonry and associated retaining walls. The cracking is structural in nature, has reappeared following previous repairs, and is actively worsening following seasonal weather changes, demonstrating that the underlying cause remains unresolved. The report further identifies deformation and cracking of the adjacent retaining wall, which is being exacerbated by ground movement and fluctuating soil moisture conditions associated with the tree. It concludes that remedial works to the building and retaining structures will not be effective unless the influence of the tree is removed, and that continued retention of the eucalyptus will result in ongoing and potentially increasing damage. On this basis, the structural engineer considers the tree to be a material and significant contributing factor to the damage currently occurring and recommends its removal as a necessary prerequisite to stabilising the property and preventing further deterioration. Species: Eucalyptus (gum tree) Quantity: One (1) Location: Rear garden of the property, positioned approximately 2.44m from the rear extension retaining wall and shallow foundations. Description: Mature eucalyptus tree with a substantial canopy and trunk diameter consistent with maturity (as shown and described in the attached structural engineer’s report). Proposed works: Removal of one mature eucalyptus tree. Method: Controlled and staged removal, commencing with crown reduction followed by phased removal of the main stem, in accordance with the recommendations set out in the attached structural engineer’s report. Stump treatment: The stump to be cut down to near ground level and treated to prevent regrowth. Full stump grubbing is not proposed at this stage to avoid sudden soil disturbance and rapid rehydration of shrinkable clay soils. Reasoning: The staged approach is intended to manage the risk of post-removal ground heave and to allow gradual rebalancing of soil moisture conditions.
