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.

FRONT: GROUP 2x Leylandii, hedge (G1)(ht 6m) FELL. Reason: is damaging the wall and will be replaced with a hedge. FRONT: ONE Eucalyptus (T1)(ht.7m) FELL. Reason: the tree is unhealthy and is to be replaced with something more suitable. REAR: ONE Western Red Cedar (T1)(ht.9m) FELL.

102 TYRWHITT ROAD, LONDON, SE4 1QB
FRONT: ONE Eucalyptus (T1)(ht.14.4m) FELL. FRONT SIDE: ONE Privet hedge 4m section (H1)(ht.4.2m) FELL. Reason: for 4m clearance from front left corner of the property FRONT: ONE Wisteria (C1)(ht.2.8m) FELL (exempt works). Reason: The tree works are proposed to stop the influence of the tree(s) on the soil below building foundation level and provide long term stability. Informative A: huge thanks that the front hedge is being retained for urban greening benefits and for wildlife, to reduce increasingly high prolonged temperatures due to climate change, and for flood mitigation but disappointed that hydrangea (SG1) removal not being considered first, before felling the Eucalyptus or that underpinning the bay is not being considered as the long-term solution to the structural issue which is confined to the right-hand side of the front two storey bay windows with no cracks at ground level; site investigation does not appear conclusive on cause of damage, with level monitoring showing most movement at left-hand side of the bay, foundations of the bay depth 700mm are below current guidelines for clay soils, hydrangea roots to 1.8m, soil not desiccated, water ingress/penetration into cellar not addressed, historic distortions and previous episode in 2009. Informative B: replacement tree planting is encouraged to restore streetscape amenity, which could be from the NHBC low water demand tree list which includes birch, elder, hazel, laburnum, magnolia, mulberry, fig and holly - the Arboricultural report considers replacement planting appropriate (p.2). Informatives C: please create habitat log piles with arisings for wildlife and biodiversity.
