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 full applications applications
How this application type works
A full application seeks permission for a complete, detailed proposal in one go: siting, design, access and landscaping are all fixed at this stage. It is the standard route for new buildings, conversions and changes of use. The statutory target is eight weeks for smaller schemes and thirteen weeks for major development, though complex cases often take longer by agreement.

Oak (T1) and (T2) - Crown reduction of up to 1 metre to address structural imbalance and reduce the risk of further branch failure, while maintaining the natural form and primary structural framework with an approximate final crown spread of approximately 6-7 metres. Reduction cuts will be made at suitable lateral growth points. All pruning wounds will not exceed 50mm in diameter. Crown Spread Measurement - The stated final crown spread of approximately 6 to7 metres refers to the radial spread, measured from the stem to the outermost extent of the crown in each direction. This interpretation is consistent with BS 3998 2010, Clause 3.6 and Clause 7.7.3 which recommend specifying crown dimensions in terms of radial spread to ensure clarity and consistency in pruning specifications. Tree Height - No reduction in overall tree height is proposed. The works are limited to lateral crown reduction to address structural imbalance. Both specimens exhibit structural imbalances, particularly asymmetric crown development. This has contributed to recent branch failure on T1, indicating a potential hazard to property and public safety. No signs of severe pathogen presence were observed, but mechanical stress and crown asymmetry were noted. The site is primarily urban and industrial, surrounded by a vehicle yard and a building complex. The area is notably busy, with many people engaged in work. Elm (T3) - Fell, dead specimen poses now an elevated risk.
