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.

T011 Mature Ash: Remove. The tree grows inappropriately close to the adjacent garage and a significant stepped crack was observed immediately adjacent to the stem, we consider T011 to be causing this damage, which is likely to get worse if the tree is not removed. Furthermore, T011 is an Ash tree with a sparse canopy and limited life expectancy. I am also advised by my client that the tree has recently shed large branches (see photographs).
