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.

24 Cromwell Close Aughton Ormskirk Lancashire L39 5ET
With reference to the 2024 Tree Map and Tree map details 2024 documents and the photographs of Tree 2( birch) and tree 5 ( cedar). We undertook some approved tree works in early 2025 due to dead wood on the trees on our plot. Tree 2 (Birch) has failed to leaf for 3 consecutive years and now branches are actively falling from the tree - it is clearly dead and needs removal. Tree 5 (Cedar) was in a poor condition prior to the 2025 remedial tree works, with poor needle growth and dropping dead branches. It is now clearly dead with a profound needle drop in March 2026 and bare branches currently throughout the tree. I would like to remove Tree 2 and Tree 5 as they are dead and now in danger of falling ( or significant branch loss) during high winds. We have already planted an Acer in our rear border. I do not wish to replace the Cedar at this time as the garden is surrounded by trees, including large trees on neighbouring properties which limit light in this North facing garden
