What a grant of permission means
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.

3 Old Barn Lane Croxley Green Rickmansworth Hertfordshire WD3 3HU
2x conifers to be reduced to ground level and stump ground out. Both in conservation area - neither covered by a specific TPO. One in bed to southeastern corner of dwelling. Roughly 9 metres high and located 3 metres from the house. Similar distance from neighbour's house. The proximity of the tree to the house is concerning due to inevitable spread of the roots near the foundations of either property. The area is fairly sheltered and it is our desire to plant shrubs and shade-loving plants in that area. Hypericum and crocosmia already grow underneath and would benefit from less nutrient drain on the soil. The other tree is located roughly 12 metres south of the southeastern corner of the house. This is a lighter-coloured conifer/fir, a similar height to the other, but fuller in width, except one side, where hazel and privet have been grown. The conifer dominates a flowerbed, to the extent that an otherwise lovely Pieris and an Escallion (both flowering) are forced to grow a long way sideways to get any light. With this bed, we are looking to remove the tree to give the other shrubs and trees more light and room to grow, so all would fil lin well. We would also like to plant a Magnolia further back in the bed. There is currently no point with the conifer there as it would get no light or nutrients and would not be seen by the house.
