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 full applications applications
How this application type works
A full application seeks permission for a complete, detailed proposal in one go: siting, design, access and landscaping are all fixed at this stage. It is the standard route for new buildings, conversions and changes of use. The statutory target is eight weeks for smaller schemes and thirteen weeks for major development, though complex cases often take longer by agreement.

55 BREAKSPEARS ROAD, LONDON, SE4 1XR
REAR: ONE Silver Birch (T1)(ht.15m,spread:11m) HEIGHT REDUCE by 3m to ht.12m, LATERAL REDUCE by 3m to spread 8m, CROWN THIN by 30%. Reason: proximity and shade to both no.55 and no.53, reduce overhang to no.53 to balance canopy as previous crown reduction (ref. DC/16/099295) by 2m on no.55's side only resulted in imbalanced growth. Informative A: the sensitive management of the tree for rear landscape amenity, urban forest canopy/urban greening, wellbeing, wildlife, environmental benefits and to mitigate the climate and biodiversity emergencies is greatly appreciated. Informative B: please use cut branches in the garden to create habitat wood piles, and/ or a 'dead hedge' for wildlife and biodiversity. Informative C: please continue to plant trees, shrubs, hedges, climbers, perennials, bulbs and groundcover for varied garden landscape amenity, urban forest canopy, wildlife habitat, plants for pollinators, improve air quality.

SIDE: ONE Laurel (T1)(ht.approx.7m) FELL. Reason: not a good specimen, next to 2m wall and side access. A replacement native pollinator tree will be planted in a more suitable location. Informative A: the replacement native pollinator tree is hugely welcomed and supported for green infrastructure benefits and to reduce increasingly high summer temperatures due to climate change.

59 BREAKSPEARS ROAD, LONDON, SE4 1XR
FRONT: ONE Acer Negundo (T1)(ht.12m) CROWN REDUCE HEIGHT by 3m from 12m to ht.9m, REDUCE LATERAL SPREAD by 3m from 12m to 9m. Reason: the main leader has failed and is being held up by the limb below. The canopy has major dieback and the crown is in generally poor physiological and structural condition. The canopy overhangs two driveways and the pedestrian footpath, high likelihood of failure and volume of pedestrians within the drop zone warrant the 5-day notice. The tree will tolerate the pruning as specified, reduction to shape canopy, pruning to suitable points and maintaining natural aesthetic. Informative A: huge thanks for the sensitive management to retain the tree for streetscape amenity. Informative B: please create habitat log piles with arisings for wildlife and biodiversity.
