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.

Grimsby Rugby Union Football Club Springfield Road Grimsby North East Lincolnshire DN33 3JF
Request to remove Ash (T2 of North East Lincolnshire Borough Council No.7 (R.U.F.C. Springfield Road, Scartho) Tree Preservation Order 1997) The client requests to remove the Ash due to the placement of a new Rugby Pitch. An Oak is proposed as a replacement tree. The tree has significant heartwood decay and has a predominantly hollow main stem. The stem diameter was measured to be approximately 1.2m at 1.5m above ground level. A cavity 0.2m below this was measured to be approximately 0.9m in depth indicating a residual total wall thickness of only 30cm. Additionally a 0.5m wide cavity was probed and measured to be 1.5m deep at the base indicating minimal support to the above structure. The cavity at the base is also failing to produce any reaction wood in an attempt to compartmentalise (left hand side of base photo) suggesting decay will continue laterally. There are also large cavities on the North, East and West sides in the upper part of the stem compromising structural integrity of the crown. With the tree existing as a lapsed pollard and with a sizable crown exposed to sail effect, it would be reasonable to presume that there is a significant loading on the compromised structure. A significant failure is highly probable at some point. Although the centre of gravity is biased towards the South it is worthy of note that there is a residential property located within 1x tree height to the North. With numerous cavities failure could be unpredictable. Whilst re-establishment of the lapsed pollard to reduce loading and preserve the tree could be a consideration, Tree Work Recommendations (BS 3998) part C.2 recommends re-retrenchment pruning when the pollard has lapsed. If this is carried out over a number of years to establish a pollard it may well be likely that the tree would fail at the basal cavity prior to completion.

1 Green Acres Waltham Grimsby North East Lincolnshire DN37 0QG
am writing regarding a large spruce at 1 Green Acres, Waltham, DN37 0QG. The tree is very large and mature and is situated close to the property. Its dense canopy causes substantial shading and a significant loss of natural daylight to the house and garden. I would be grateful if you could confirm whether this spruce is covered by a Tree Preservation Order and, if so, provide the TPO reference and plan identifying the tree. I would also like to request that a Tree Officer inspects the tree and considers whether removal would be appropriate given its current size, proximity to the property and the significant shading it causes. I note that the Council has previously permitted the removal and reduction of TPO-protected trees at 4 and 5 Green Acres where shading and proximity to properties were relevant considerations, including application DM/0101/20/TPO at 4 Green Acres. If removal were considered appropriate, I would be happy to discuss suitable replacement planting in a more appropriate location.
