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.

5 Day Notice Mature Ash on river bank -On inspection of the base, I noticed that over 80% of the bark/cambium at the base of the tree is completely gone, leaving just a thin strip of cambium at the back (please see attached photos etc). This combined with a progressive lean towards the 'Bake House' which is Grade3 listed leads me to the conclusion that this tree needs to be condemned. Tree to be removed to 3m monolith. 2 new native broad leaf species to be planted in more suitable location.
