Proposal
REAR: ONE Weeping Willow (T1) HEIGHT REDUCTION by 2m from 7m to 5m, LATERAL REDUCTION by 2m from 8m to 6m & CROWN LIFT to 2.5m from ground level. Informative: the weeping willow had consent for crown reduction two years ago ref: DC/17/105052. The current proposed reduction should be balanced with regard to the previous reduction on the aesthetics of the tree's form and physiological health from the possibility of decay induced by excessive pruning ref BS 3998:2010 Tree works - recommendations.

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.
