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.

Lawns Lane Farnley Leeds LS12 5ES
T01937 Sycamore - Remove tree. Significant dieback of canopy. Large diameter (>25 mm) deadwood can be seen in the outer canopy. Deadwood in canopy over target. T 01934 mature Beech (identified as an Ash in the report) - Remove tree as it shows the fruiting bodies of Giant Polypore (fungal infection) at the base of the tree (identified in report). This tree is now completely dead and overhangs the practice nets on the adjacent cricket ground. This tree was surveyed in winter and likely died over the winter which is why it was not identified as dead in the report. T01932 is a mature Ash (identified as a Norway Maple in the report) - Remove tree. Shows fruiting bodies of Artists Fungus at the base of the tree (identified in report) and significant thinning of the canopy potentially due to Ash Dieback infection (this would not have been easily identified at the time of the report as the tree was surveyed not in leaf).
