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.

17, Highbury Hill, London, N5 1SU
Tree is identified as Tree 9 on the drawing 311 and this corresponds with the same number on the tree condition report. it is a flowering ornamental cherry and is described in the report as: Multi-stemmed from 1m with compression forks; small ornamental tree; upper crown reduced at 7.5m resulting in wounds of average 40mm diameter; crown visible from Highbury Hill to S; arboricultural quality and amenity value diminished by heavy pruning; consequently makes limited contribution to Highbury Fields Conservation Area. The tree is not on good condition and has a poor shape. The owners propose to replace this tree with a semi mature 20-22 standard Prunus 'Sunset Boulevard'. This has an upright form and so is much more suitable for city gardens where we don't want a wide spread.
