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.

Tree A: is an overlarge fig, close to our house. Application is to reduce the crown by one third, to tidy up a couple of low branches which now overhang ours and our neighbour's garden, blocking light, in order to keep the tree in a healthy condition and shape. Tree B: is a false acacia which has grown far too tall in its competitive effort to reach the light. Application is to reduce the crown by one third including tidying up some of the lower branches. Tree C: is a hornbeam. Application is to reduce the crown by one third. All three are part of normal maintenance for these trees not least since trees A & B are both, in reality, too large for a garden of our size. We have planted 4 new trees in 2025 which are of a more appropriate size. Tree A - Fig: a 2m crown reduction in width and a 2m reduction in height, leaving a canopy spread of approximately 4m and height of 5m. Tree B - False Acacia: a 2m crown reduction in width and a 2.5m reduction in height, leaving a canopy spread of approximately 4m and height of 6.5m. Tree C - Hornbeam: a 1.5m crown reduction in width and a 2m crown reduction in height leaving a canopy spread of approximately 4m and height of 5.5m.
