What a grant of permission means
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 full applications applications
How this application type works
A full application seeks permission for a complete, detailed proposal in one go: siting, design, access and landscaping are all fixed at this stage. It is the standard route for new buildings, conversions and changes of use. The statutory target is eight weeks for smaller schemes and thirteen weeks for major development, though complex cases often take longer by agreement.

Pavilion Recreation Ground Hay Street Steeple Morden Cambridgeshire SG8 0PD
2 *Elm - Remove The 2 trees are behind the pavilion and Reading room. Both are, we think, on the boundary of the conservation area, but in any avoidance of doubt, would like to submit an application. Both are elm and are at the end of their life span. Dead wood and boughs now visible and considering the height, we are increasingly concerned from a safety aspect, to buildings and people using the facilities. Added to this, the recently redecorated Reading room is already showing signs of cracks between brick joints from one of the trees.
