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.

30% reduction of the crown. Removal of all dead wood which is at risk of falling onto neighbours property or injuring someone. Council Note: The submitted Section 211 notice does not identify the tree species or provide a usable tree location plan. The description refers only to a 30 percent crown reduction and removal of dead wood. It is not clear which tree the works relate to or where the tree is located within the site. Insufficient information has been provided to allow the Council to process the notice as a valid Conservation Area tree works notification. Notice withdrawn.
