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.

T1 Horse Chestnut: To be removed due to poor condition from previous heavy pruning/reduction - see invalid reply T2 Sycamore: Lower south easterly side branches x 3 located around 1m above main union to be pruned back to boundary/main stem. Prune higher branches by up to 2m to suitable unions, we are wanting to remove up to 2m from the upper canopy that grows towards the house and is becoming quite close. T3 Silver Birch: To be crown reduced to previous height by removing up to 1.5m in height and up to 1m on all sides to reshape. All other trees and shrubs along fence line to be pruned back to boundary to allow for better light levels and reduce sap soiling the garden. this is a mixture of overgrown holly and self-seeded deciduous species. preference is to remove full limbs back to main stem of any young or semi mature trees, as to be in line with BS3998 and not leave any unsightly pegs that will then cause excessive and un natural regrowth.
