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 - Remove. Tree is over 25ft tall now and the tree is killing off/impacting on my beech hedge which runs the length of my rear garden and the branches are now starting to protrude over onto my neighbours garden. My concern is that it will keep growing and would create a future risk due to the height.

16 South Close Guiseley Leeds LS20 8JD
T1 - Felling of Goat Willow Tree - (approximately 30 feet high) and according to the tree surgeon who came round, its trunk is liable to splitting, due to how the trunk has grown over the years. It is very close both our house and the boundary with our neighbours. He also says that it will potentially be damaging our foundations due to how close it is to the house (about 3 metres). Therefore we would like to remove this tree and replace it for something more suitable for its position near our house.
