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 prior approval applications
How this application type works
Prior approval applications arise where permitted development rights already grant the principle of the work, such as larger home extensions, changes of use to housing or agricultural buildings. The council may only consider the specific matters set out in the rules, for example transport, flooding or appearance, and in many classes the work may proceed if the council does not respond within the deadline, commonly 56 days.

Scotts Pine tree T1. Tree is in rear garden at far end. Remove 5m length of the upper crown which is to clear a very weak fork where it joins main stem. This weak junction became visible when the other section was removed due to storm damage and hanging in the upper crown. Please note this storm damaged section and other major dead wood was removed under exempt works authorisation by yourself on the grounds of safety. When the tree was climbed to removed the original storm damage and dead wood it showed as a weakness in this part of the tree. The section that needs removing hangs over the fence of the garden at the rear of the tree and proposed work is on grounds of safety and retaining the tree long term.
