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.

The Chestnuts Chestnut Drive Egham Surrey TW20 0BQ
With reference to survey plan: T168 Fagus sylvatica - 2m reduction to crown spread on north face, clear of building line with similar reduction to remaining sides as required to balance the canopy. Crown thin 10% and remove dead wood. T164 Quercus robur - 2m reduction to crown spread on north west face, clear of building line with similar reduction to remaining sides as required to balance the canopy. Crown thin 10% and remove dead wood. Reason for works is to reduce leaf fall onto the roof and guttering of the adjacent building. The building has a heritage style roof and guttering system with a parapet wall which is prone to catching leaves and blocking drain outfalls. This action has led to ingress of water into the building where the guttering system has been comprimised. The tree works are proposed to reduce the direct fall of leaves from overhanging branches. This measure is proposed in conjunction with installation of mesh barriers to create catchment points, and an increased number of maintenance visits to clear leaves from the roof and gutters.

RU.26/0576 Granted
71 A Harpesford Avenue Virginia Water Surrey GU25 4RG
T1 - Oak at front - fell - tree has Acute Oak Decline (AOD) The tree is in advanced decline, almost dead, due AOD evidenced by weeping exudates on the main stem and progressive and advanced canopy dieback monitored over 5+ years. Structural integrity and vitality are now significantly compromised. Given its proximity to the dwelling and highway (high target occupancy), retention presents an unacceptable foreseeable risk of failure and liability under duty of care obligations. Felling is therefore justified on arboricultural safety grounds.
