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.

T1) Sycamore - Reduce the canopy by pollarding to the original pollard cuts. The height will be reduced from 17 metres to 14 metres and the width will be reduced from 12 metres to 9 metres. The canopy has had a large branch failure, which caused roof damage to a neighbouring roof, due to decay at the base of the regrowth from the last reduction. Being the proximity of the tree to The Bull car park and outside seating area of the pub the tree needs attention.
