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.

15 PERRY RISE, LONDON, SE23 2QX
REAR: ONE: Leyland Cypress tree (T1) HEIGHT 14m. FELL to ground level. REASON: The tree has a sparse, uneven crown indicative of poor vigour and restricted growing conditions. Felling is proposed to allow the garden to be reinstated in accordance with a redesign scheme, which includes the planting of 7-8 native replacement trees selected to provide shelter and food resources for birds and pollinators. The retained trees on site ? including a mature ash, plum, hawthorn and bay ? will continue to provide existing wildlife habitat. REAR: ONE: Leyland Cypress tree (T2) Height 16m. FELL to ground level. Reason: All arisings to be removed from site and disposed of responsibly. A large mature Leyland Cypress in the rear garden with a dense, bulky crown that dominates the plot and significantly reduces light levels and biodiversity value within the garden. Felling is proposed as part of the same garden redesign scheme. Replacement planting of 7-8 native trees, including a specimen tree of 3m+ to the side passage, is proposed. The new planting has been specifically selected to encourage birds through provision of shelter and natural food sources.
