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.

Caretakers Lodge, 88, Richmond Road, Twickenham, TW1 3BB
T8. Common Lime (Tilia x europaea) Poor triple-stemmed specimen/significant dead branches. Retention is not considered appropriate due to the tree’s poor triple-stemmed form, limited long-term contribution, and its relationship to the proposed layout. The removal of the tree and its replacement with a more suitable species is therefore recommended, as this would provide greater long-term arboricultural and landscape benefits in line with the objectives of the local policy framework. Suggested Work: Fell in sections to ground level and grind out the stump. Please see attached re-planting details The tree's current height is 19m, and its crown spread is 5m After the proposed works, the tree's height is 0.0m, and the crown spread is 0.0m.
