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 heritage and listed buildings applications
How this application type works
Heritage applications concern listed buildings and conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for works, inside or out, that affect the special interest of a listed building, and carrying out such works without consent is a criminal offence. The council weighs harm to the heritage asset against any public benefit of the proposal.

This is a Eucalyptus gunnii (Cider Gum). Since we purchased the house 6 years ago this tree has gone from standing vertical to leaning at an alarming angle. It's roots can also be seen to be lifting in strong winds. We would please like to ask permission to take this tree down.

The proposals seek to reorganise the existing ground floor arrangement by relocating the kitchen into the current dining room and reinstating a former doorway opening to form a more practical entrance sequence. A pantry will be created by enclosing the existing opening between the two rooms, while the current kitchen space will be reconfigured to provide a separate utility room and boot room.
