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 householder applications
How this application type works
Householder applications cover work to an existing house and its garden: extensions, loft and garage conversions, porches, outbuildings and similar alterations within the boundary of the home. They cannot be used to create a separate dwelling or change what the building is used for. Councils aim to decide them within eight weeks, and immediate neighbours are usually notified and given a chance to comment.

3 ELIOT VALE, LONDON, SE3 0UU
REAR: THREE Beech trees (T1, T2, T3) HEIGHT REDUCTION Ht by 4m from 22m to 18m. REMOVAL of 3 crossover branches at the bottom of each tree by approx 3m from 13m to 10m. REASON: Grown too tall, have long over hanging branches and branches are growing into each other competing with each other for light and water. This is effecting the health of the trees and garden beneath.. The trees make the garden very dark during the summer months making growing plants and the lawn very difficult. One of the trees also overhangs Pagoda Gardens footpath & road. All 3 trees overhang our neighbouring propoerty and they have asked us to apply to do wires in these trees to reduce the effect on their garden too. Informative A: The sensitive management of the trees is greatly appreciated for landscape amenity, wildlife, wellbeing, and urban forest canopy for environmental benefits to mitigate the effects of climate change. Informative B: Wherever possible, please create habitat log piles in the garden from cut branches for wildlife and biodiversity.
