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.

Front Garden: White Mulberry. Crown reduce to balance the crown and reduce end loading on lateral limbs. Install props to support lower limbs and the overall structure of the tree. Council Note: The White Mulberry is not protected by TPO 134 1978. Under application 25/03205/TPO, the Council confirmed that only T6 Common Lime and T7 Horse Chestnut fall within Area A1 and are protected by the Order. As the site lies within CA12 Streatham Park Garrads Road Conservation Area, the works have been considered under section 211 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. The Council raises no objection and does not propose to make a Tree Preservation Order in respect of this tree. This decision does not grant consent for works to any tree protected by TPO 134.
