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.

Tree species: Silver Wattle Number used on sketch plan: T2 Description of works: Removal T2 Silver Wattle is located very close to a building, and has the potential to outgrow its citation very quickly. While this has been managed with cyclical pruning in the past, Silver Wattle are a vigorous species and prone to decay. Removal and replacement is recommended to avoid an intensive cyclical pruning regime, and reduce the future risk of damage to the nearby drains. Tree species: Cider Gum Number used on sketch plan: T7 Description of works: Removal T7 appears to have been windblown historically, ie the tree’s root system has partially failed. While it is reasonably stable now, the acute angle of stem lean and the vigorous nature of the species mean that cyclical pruning will be required to manage the canopy. Removal and replacement is recommended to avoid an intensive cyclical pruning regime, and reduce the risk of future rootplate failure. Tree species: Mock Orange Number used on sketch plan: T3 Descriptionof works: Removal Poor shape and form, and is a garden ornamental tree that we wish to be removed.
