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.

7 Church Avenue Penwortham Preston Lancashire PR1 0AH
95% historically approved · decision due ~22 Sep
I am seeking permission for appropriate pruning works to address the issues it is currently causing. The tree ( a Copper Beach) is situated in my neighbour's garden at 6 Church Avenue, to the rear of the property adjoining Hollinhurst Avenue. It has become significantly overgrown, with branches extending over the full width of my garage and now approaching the garage roof, creating a risk of damage. The tree also restricts headroom clearance at the gate providing access to my property from Hollinhurst Avenue, making access increasingly difficult. In addition, the canopy has expanded to the extent that it is now encroaching towards the opposite side of the road, raising concerns about its continued growth and the weight of the overhanging branches. I am therefore seeking permission to appoint a qualified arborist to carry out sympathetic pruning to reduce the tree to an appropriate size. The proposed works would maintain safe access to my property, help prevent damage to my garage roof, and reduce the extent of the tree's encroachment over the highway, while preserving the tree's overall health and amenity value.
