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.

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.

  Orchard House Shadwell Lane Leeds LS17 8AQ

  G1 Sycamores - Reduce the row of trees (in height) identified by s2 on sketch plan to previous pruning points as has been done on these trees for the entire time that they have lived at this property. The reason for this is to allow direct light into the south facing aspect of their property. They recognise that in order to allow direct light into their garden they would need to reduce the sycamores more significantly which they have been persuaded against. The trees are in good health and have been pruned back to the same unions on a regular basis for the last 20 years and they would like to continue to do so to keep the height in check (at cost to them) becasue they value the trees. In terms of the reduction we would like to reduce the new growth which is approximately 2.5m
