Proposal
T1 - Front garden - Tilla sp Crown lift lower canopy to approximately 4 metres above ground level to improve light levels to the ground floor window whilst maintaining a balanced crown structure. Reduce crown back from the building to provide approximately 2 metres clearance from the structure. Reduce upper canopy by approximately 2–3 metres from branch ends, pruning to suitable growth points throughout. Works to retain as much healthy internal foliage as reasonably practicable, with the objective of managing the overall size of the tree whilst encouraging regrowth within the upper crown and reducing the development of aggressive basal and epicormic growth.

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.
