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.

Works to a Tree with a TPO: T1 (Horse Chestnut) - Remove T2 & T3 (Horse Chestnut) - Repollard and repeat at 2-year intervals for a period of 10 years. Reasons: a. The property has been the subject of movement which engineers consider to be attributable to the role of vegetation on an underlying clay soil. b. Site investigations confirm the clay soil and levels of desiccation which support the view trees are of influence. c. The onset timing of damage is wholly consistent with the potential that it is caused by tree(s). d. Level monitoring is supportive of the view vegetation is causal. e. The tree identified for removal is the largest/ closest vegetation to the affected part of the building. It is hoped that its removal will mitigate the influence and facilitate the retention of other surveyed trees. f. Pruning to T2 & T3 seeks to establish a managed canopy framework allow future pruning works which will seek to retain the trees in a managed form.

Minimal residual wall at old pruning wounds. Reduced tree with onesided unbalanced canopy remaining, weighted towards the roadand over footpath. Epicormic regrowth is maturing since heavy reduction. If tree is to be retained it must be as a low pollard and managed on a short cycle. Consider pre-emptive removal."
