Proposal
The tree is situated in our front garden on the border with the house next door. The crown overhanging next door has been cut back to approximately four to five feet. The crown on our side of the garden has not been pruned (by the previous owners of our property); and as such is now twelve to fifteen wide. Our main area of concern is the fact that the branches are beginning to grow through the telephone wires that serve the house next door, and will begin to cause damage in the near future. If this work is done the tree will also begin to look more symmetrical and in fitting with the area.

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.
