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.

Our Lady Of The Assumption R C Church and Assumption Priory, Victoria Park Square, London, E2 9PB
Observation requested by Diocese of Westminster Churches Committee for works are required to address urgent maintenance and material failure issues affecting six asphalt flat roof and parapet areas. Roof Inspections have found areas where significant leaks are occurring. Works are necessary to fully repair and recondition the roofs to a fully watertight state of repair. The proposed works are to undertake like-for-like repairs and replacements, while ensuring the roof's ongoing weatherproof performance. The proposed works are intended to have no impact upon the architectural visuals of the building and are not visible from the street level. On completion the internal decoration of the church will be made good.

Our Lady Of The Assumption R C Church and Assumption Priory, Victoria Park Square, London, E2 9PB
Observation requested by Diocese of Westminster Churches Committee for the existing boiler equipment is approximately 15 years old. Only 25% of the boilers are currently working, parts are obsolete and no longer available. The boilers provide heating for the Church and it is imperative that the building is heated sufficiently to protect the historic fabric. New smaller boilers, valves, pressurisation unit and finned tube heaters are required to redesign the system. It is expected that efficiency of the system will be 30-40% more efficient and will improve the comfort of the parishioners. It will lower heating costs and environmental impact in line with the Churches Net Zero targets. Limited works are required externally i.e. removing the existing flues in an interior courtyard and replacing with new black powder coated flues. There is limited loss of historic fabric of the Church as a result of the proposals.
