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.

The main concern for work is to make areas safe for people/children and the property. Also to allow more light through for the client. The property is set back from the main road, surrounded by mature mixed species of trees and tall conifers keeping the property in shade throughout most of the year. T1: Beech. Tree to be crown raised by 5m, with deadwood removed over driveway gated area G2: Group of 4 trees x1 sycamore, x3 cherry. Trees to be removed due to large bracket fungus, which have left them standing dead T3: Oak. Crown reduction, crown thinning & crown raise to make safer and allow a more direct light in to the property, along with full deadwood removal. T4: Eucalyptus: Tree has became really leggy with the limbs stretching out over the lawn encroaching towards the property and play area, making it a hazard with weight and length the limbs have gained over the years. The tree appears to have had work carried out on one limb in the past, from the signs a large limb reduced by almost halfway which has created a new canopy below the main crown. Tree would benefit from some reduction work down to a suitable pruning point along with dead wood removal to make safer.
