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.

4 Maplehurst Close Burgh Heath Surrey KT20 5FU
T1: Beech (rear garden, left tree) - Reduce overall canopy by 2m to appropriate growth points, following BS3998 standards. The aim of the reduction is to minimise the chance of failure and to keep the tree maintained at a reasonable size before a more drastic reduction may be needed in the future. There is a poor V-shaped union between two co-dominant stems, which the reduction will reduce tip weight and minimise sail. The reduction will also aim to maintain a natural looking tree, pruning to appropriate growth points. T2: Lime (rear garden, right tree) - Reduce height of canopy by 3m and laterals reduce by 2m to appropriate growth points, following BS3998 standards. Epicormic growth to be removed from the main stem. The aim of the reduction is to keep the tree managed and to reduce the risk of failure. The tree has been lifted to 60% of its height, canopy starting at 11m. The reduction will lessen the sail, whilst keeping the tree maintained at reasonable points before a more drastic reduction is required in the future. The reduction will also aim to create a more visually appealing shape, whilst maintaining a natural looking tree. All major deadwood of 25mm in diameter or larger to be removed from both trees.
