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.

T1 on the sketch is a Cypress. It has died. The photo shows the brown colour of the foliage. It crumbles to the touch. It is now a significant fire risk. The proposal is to remove it. A replacement in the same place is not proposed - I suspect a combination of the Acer close beside it competing for water coupled with recent hot dry summers has dried it out, and a new tree would share the same fate. No work is proposed for the other trees T2, T3, T4.
