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.

19 Alexander Crescent, Caterham, Surrey, CR3 5ZG
T1) Callery Pear - Fell to ground level and replant same species within 3 metres of T1 (size: standard). Tree has been planted within the narrow shrub border situated between the front gardens of Nos. 19 and 20 Alexander Crescent. As the tree has matured, its root growth has begun to cause visible damage to the paving on both sides of the shrub border. In addition, the tree is causing excessive shading to the front windows of both properties, significantly reducing light ingress. Given that the tree has been planted in a restricted location where its continued growth is causing damage to surrounding features and adversely affecting natural light to the properties, its removal is recommended. It is further recommended that a replacement tree be replanted within the lawn area to the front of No. 19 Alexander Crescent, of the same species and a standard-sized specimen. This location would provide the tree with more suitable growing conditions while reducing the risk of damage to surrounding hard surfaces and excessive shading to the properties.
