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.

2026/2311 Awaiting decision
Oliver House School 7 Nightingale Lane SW4 9AH
TPO 138/1990 T6= Cypress Lime not protected, what are dead species? Gardeners recently installed some raised planters. During installation these two trees suffered damage (cambian damage at base of trunk + root compaction) and both trees have died. They have become brittle and are at risk of collapse, leading to potential risk to people or property. Suggested work: - fell to ground level - grind out stumps to a depth of 300mm to allow for replanting This 18m bald cypress tree has previously been reduced but not for many years. There is a 4m snapped limp overhanging the road around 14m high in the canopy. The edge of the canopy hangs low so that in summer the school sign cannot be read from the road. Suggested work: - remove the snapped hanger from the canopy - remove substantial deadwood - lift canopy all round to 6m This 12m mature lime tree has previously been pollarded, cyclical prune now due. Suggested work: - reduce all round back to previous reduction points, equating to 2-2.5m reduction
