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 Oak - Tree has suffered historical impact damage from a near by Oak which failed into its crown , leaving the upper crown compromised by damage to lower supporting secondary stems. The loss of the neighbouring Oak has also made the tree more exposed to high winds. There is also a cavity at the base of the main stem , probing up to 40cms diagonally down , unable to accurately assess the extent of hollowing with the hammer. The proposed work is to reduce the tree by up to 4m to suitable unions where possible. prune damaged stubs back to suitable unions. remove dead wood, There is a second privately owned Oak near by at no 102 which will become more exposed to wind if the reduction work is carried out.
