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 on sketch plan - The tree is in the front garden of Bel-Air close to the boundary with Edgehill. On 26 August 2021 consemt was given by the local authority under reference LCS/21/1681/TPO to reduce the crown in height by 2 metres. This work was never done but consent is now requested due to considerable further growth of the tree. Furthermore the tree is becoming over extended and consent is requested to reduce the lateral spread by 1.5 metres to relieve the overall weight and stop the branches touching both the houses Bel-Air and Edgehill.
