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.

2 Hillfield Road Redhill Surrey RH1 4AP
T1 Lime - The tree is located close to 2 properties and has not been maintained. A few branches have already snapped out from the tree and it is likely more will do so too. Work recommended: Re-pollard back to suitable growth points. Reason for work: In the interest of good tree management and to allow more light into the client garden. T2 Evergreen - We recommend felling this tree to allow the Lime a chance to strive as it is located next to it. The tree is very tall and overhanging the neighbours property. Reasons for work: Aesthetics. T3 Lime - This tree is leaning and becoming very top heavy. We recommend felling the tree to allow the larger Lime tree next to it a chance to thrive, grow and balance out. Reasons for works: To allow more light into the property and general maintenance.

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).
