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.

7 BOURNE GROVE ASHTEAD KT21 2NX
Reduce overall canopy of 3x Oak by approximately 2m to appropriate growth points, near to old points, following BS3998 standards. The reduction should allow all three trees to form one connected canopy. Remove North Western lowest limb, which crosses another branch, back to the main union. Thin canopy by 30%. The aim of the reduction is to keep the tree managed at a point where the tree can before pruned to growth points, before a harder prune is required to get it back to the old points size. Reduce height of T2- Crimson King Norway Maple back down to old points. Remove any large dead stubs which increase points for more growth. Reduce remaining canopy to good growth points and to match shape, whilst retaining screening of houses behind. Reduce overall canopy of T3- Crimson King Norway Maple by approximately 4m, in the form of a hard pollard to encourage new growth at a lower height to increase screening and minimise shade the garden. Reduce remaining canopy in the form of a pollard to match shape of the top height.
