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.

Leyland cypress: Fell and remove stump. Circled in Red - at the back of the property. There is no tree preservation order. The tree in question is a Leyland cypress which is approximately 17 metres in height and growing. It has a stem diameter of 580mm (measures at 1.6metres in height). The tree is located on my northern boundary and along the boundary wall of number 44 Ailsa Road as shown on the site plan attached. I have already applied to fell and remove the other Leyland cypress and now feel that this one may cause damage as well - it is currently pulling up the wooden boarder and likely to be better to take both trees down at the same time to avoid disruption. They are close together so likely to affect each other. If the tree is allowed to grow to maturity, it may grow to excess of 30metres in height and achieve a 1000mm stem diameter. There are no prominent features, it is no native to the UK and necessarily adding to the value of the local area. The loss would have no impact on the area as we back on to the St Margarets Pleasure Grounds where there are many large and beautiful trees exists so the loss of this tree would have no adverse impact on the local area.

26 Onslow Avenue Richmond TW10 6QB
See attached PDF showing satellite view of houses number 20 to 30 on Onslow Avenue. The sycamore tree in the rear garden of number 26 is marked by a red dotted circle on the plan. It is proposed to reduce the height and spread of the tree to growth points approximately 2m above previous pruning. This is to maintain a manageable overall height of 4.5m and spread of 4m of the tree to avoid overhang to neighbouring properties and reduce any potential risk of root ingress into drains.

Maisonette First And Second Floor 197 Castelnau Barnes London SW13 9ER
T1 & T2 – Lime (Tilia spp.) Proposed Works: Fell both Lime trees to ground level by sectional dismantling. Arboricultural Justification The two Lime trees are small, previously pollarded specimens that are in poor structural condition and no longer represent suitable trees for retention. Inspection identified extensive decay at the base of both stems together with significant decay associated with the historic pollard heads, indicating progressive structural deterioration. The trees exhibit poor vitality and the combination of basal decay and decayed pollard unions has substantially compromised their long-term structural integrity. The trees are also unsuitably located within a confined area where there is insufficient space for continued development. Their proximity to surrounding structures and the restricted growing environment has resulted in an ongoing conflict between the trees and their surroundings, making long-term retention impractical. Given the advanced stage of decay affecting both the basal stem and crown, together with their limited remaining safe life expectancy, continued cyclical pruning would not provide a sustainable management solution and would only prolong the retention of structurally compromised trees. The proposed removal represents the most appropriate long-term arboricultural solution, eliminating the foreseeable risk associated with progressive structural failure whilst allowing the opportunity for replacement planting with species better suited to the available growing space. The works are considered reasonable, proportionate and in accordance with the principles of good arboricultural management and BS3998:2010 – Tree Work – Recommendations.

Quercus ilex in front garden. Requesting crown reduction back to previous pruning cuts visible from 2015. Reduce in height by 2-3m, reduce laterals by 1-2m & shape. Nothing bigger than 5cm diameter to be cut as advised by consulted tree surgeon (Bartlett's), who would be employed to undertake the works. Reasons for work- concern re damage to tree from Coaches (to Kew Gardens) reduction would prevent interference from large vehicles whilst maintaining shape of crown.
