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 heritage and listed buildings applications
How this application type works
Heritage applications concern listed buildings and conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for works, inside or out, that affect the special interest of a listed building, and carrying out such works without consent is a criminal offence. The council weighs harm to the heritage asset against any public benefit of the proposal.

T1. Cedrus deodara has lower laterals that are rubbing on the two adjacent buildings rooves. The upper section of the crown needs to be cut back from the tall building to the East to provide a clearance of 1.5m to counter any deflection of the branches by wind movement. The lower section of the crown over the swimming pool needs to be cut back to provide a clearance from the roof by 2m and from the ground by 5m. The reason for the works is to prevent damage to building fabric. T2. Pinus nigra is a large tree that is overbearing in nature due to the close proximity to the building, in addition to the branches rubbing on the fabric of the building. The debris from the needles is continually blocking the drainage channels and gutters. there is a degree of ground movement within the driveway that is a concern and roots are restricted due to the building and the banking/retaining walls adjacent the drive. Roots are starting to lift the driveway itself. In order to leave the tree with a balanced crown it is prudent to reduce the whole crown proportionally. Reduce the East of the crown by 3.6m, the south of the crown 2m . To address the lower limb on the house, it is proposed to remove the lower lateral Southeast back to the point of origin with the main crown. In addition, any deadwood is to be removed to the point of origin within the crown structure. There are currently snapped and hung-up branches to the east and the Southeast areas of the trees crown. The above works would address the potential for failure due to the overextended nature of the branches, increase the air flow around the building, prevent damage to the tiles from the low branch and reduce the needle drop into the drainage channels and guttering on the roof. Removal of the snapped branches to prevent damage. T3. Is a small young Elm that is leaning to the West of the tree that requires removal. poor tree that is leaning, good arboricultural husbandry.

St Bartholomews Church Church Road Horley Surrey RH6 8AB
The 3 dead trees are amongst others and also bushes in the first quarter of the boundary with the allotment gardens, starting from the Church Road (southern end) of the boundary. One is understood to be a cherry tree. The two others cannot be identified. We need to cut them down carefully to a safe height, including to remove any high level branches, before the dead trees become a safety concern. This will probably mean effectively cutting the trees down to almost ground level (withing about 300mm or so).
