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.

Internal alterations including the following: Move the existing kitchen from the lower ground floor to the upper ground floor rear room. Reinstate the original, preserved timber double doors in the opening between the front and rear lower ground floor rooms, to create a separate bedroom and living room. Reconstruct the non-original lower ground floor stair to make it steeper – more similar to the original stair. Replace a non-original rear extension with a similar, but more thermally efficient replacement. Create a new lower ground floor bathroom in place of the existing external lower ground floor utility room (underneath the non-original rear extension). Remove the existing sanitaryware and the modern enclosure in front of the chimney breast in the first floor rear room to create a bedroom. Convert the second floor rear room to become a bathroom. External alterations include the following: Replace the existing non-original lower ground floor rear garden door with new glazed French doors. Renovate the existing basement front lightwell glazed door and window under the entrance steps - replace the existing modern single glazing with slimline double glazing. Renovate the second floor front windows - retain the windows, but replace the existing non-original panes with vacuum glass. Dress the front entrance steps asphalt with bullnosed Yorkstone and associated rear garden works. P2026/1588/FUL also submitted
