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.

44-46 CANADIAN AVENUE, LONDON, SE6 3AS
REAR: ONE Maple (T6)(approx.ht.12m) FELL. REAR: ONE: Rowan (T7)(ht.4m) CROWN REDUCE HEIGHT by 1.5m from 4m to ht.2.5m, REDUCE SPREAD by 1.5m from 3.5m to 2m. REAR: ONE Rowan (T8)(approx.ht.6m) FELL. REASON: subsidence at adjacent property no.42, which has shallow rear foundations depth 0.6m, roots below foundations identified as Pomoidaceae includes apple, hawthorn, rowan, whitebeam (but not maple), soil not desiccated. Informative A: removal of maple T6 is questioned when no Acer roots were found in root analysis in either TP/BH1 or TP/BH2, soil is not desiccated in either TP/BH and no drains report. Soil plasticity (volume change potential) is low to intermediate. Informative B: As foundations are shallow at 0.6m an engineering solution is encouraged for long term stabilisation of no.42 and tree retention, such as underpinning or flexible, copper impregnated root barrier. Informative C: replacement tree planting is encouraged especially in view of the goodwill financial contribution from environmental services to replace lost trees, wildlife habitat and biodiversity, suggest replacement tree and hedge planting with NHBC low water demand species such as: holly, hazel, elder, fig, Gleditsia, laburnum, magnolia, mulberry, birch. Informative D: thank you for retaining other trees for amenity, wildlife and shade to reduce increasingly high summer temperatures due to climate change. Informative E: please create habitat log piles with arisings for wildlife and biodiversity.

DC/26/142921 Granted
38 CANADIAN AVENUE, LONDON, SE6 3AS
REAR: ONE Eucalyptus (T1)(approx.ht.12m) FELL. Reason: Despite a previous significant crown reduction intended to mitigate the loss of light and enjoyment of the space, the intervention has proven insufficient. The tree's fast-growing habit and dense canopy continue to cause an unreasonable degree of overshadowing. Having explored pruning as a management strategy without success, the only sustainable long-term solution to restore reasonable enjoyment of the property is the removal of the specimen and its replacement with a more suitable species. REPLACEMENT PROPOSAL: 5x trees (Amelanchier, crab apple, wild cherry, field maple, rowan) with bark mulch surround, 3yr watering regime as details received 27.2.26. Informative A: the proposed replacement tree planting with 5x trees as applicant's planting details including watering maintenance proposals received 27.2.26 is hugely appreciated, to replace urban forest canopy benefits, wildlife habitat, the treed character of the conservation area beside the sports field, for flood mitigation, reducing air pollution, carbon capture and cooling air temperatures in increasingly high summer heatwaves due to climate change. Informative B: please plant the replacement trees during the current or next planting season (end Oct-end March). Informative C: please create habitat log piles with some arisings for wildlife and biodiversity. Informative D: to enhance urban greening and wildlife benefits further please consider establishing climbers on fences, and include hedgehog highway holes in fence gravel boards.
