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.

5, WILLIAM LODGE, Grange Grove, London, N1 2NW
Robinia Tree (False Acacia) TPO 310 This is a mature large tree sited within the gardens of William Lodge close to the Buildings of William Lodge and alongside to the pavement, and road and parking bays on busy Cannonbury North Side. Following the clearance of extensive deadwood within the canopy of this by tree surgeons on 9 March further investigation indicated extensive fungal decay to the entire circumference of the base of the tree and decay to the rootball. Permission is sought to make the tree safe. The recommendation from the tree surgeons is to fell the tree. Although an extremely heavy crown reduction is an option the decay to the base appears so extensive that for safety reasons permission to fell the tree is sought. The tree has had extensive deadwood in the canopy that was recently removed and bracket fungus on the main stem has appeared in the past (Chicken in the Woods) further indications of poor health.
