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 lawful development applications
How this application type works
A lawful development certificate is a legal determination, not a planning judgement. It asks the council to confirm either that existing use or works are lawful, often through the passage of time, or that a proposal would not need planning permission at all. The applicant must prove the facts; the merits of the scheme are not considered.

1 Kentsford Cottages Kentsford Road Grange-Over-Sands LA11 7BB
A mature ash tree at the rear of the garden has been diagnosed with early-stage Ash Dieback. Minor branch loss has occurred during high winds, raising concerns about safety due to its elevated position. Permission is sought to reduce the crown to mitigate risk while retaining the tree where possible. If removal becomes necessary, a suitable replacement tree will be planted. Updated works, clarified over email. "Firstly, I wish to confirm that we do not want to fell the tree. We are requesting permission to reduce the size of the tree's crown with a maximum reduction of up to 1.5 metres all round"
