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.

Cypress (T1) Fell: Excessive shading and size incompatible with its position adjacent to this building, and the neighbouring property. In the past it has caused drains at the neighbouring property (No 16) to become blocked by its roots and caused damage to the adjacent tarmac paving. It's proximity to a natural stone boundary wall is such that further growth will inevitably cause the wall to fall. It dominates the conservation area and furthermore overhangs the neighbouring property at No 16 affecting both light to nearby windows and creating maintenance issues. Ash (T2) Fell: Proximity to the building creates excessive shading and significantly reduces light to adjacent windows once in full leaf. Replace both trees centrally and/or on the eastern & northern boundaries of the site with smaller native species such as Hawthorn and Hazel more compatible in size to the urban environment and conservation area.
