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 advertising applications
How this application type works
Advertisement consent controls signs, hoardings and other adverts. The council may only judge two things: amenity, meaning the effect on the appearance of the building and area, and public safety, chiefly whether a sign distracts road users or obstructs sight lines. Other planning considerations, such as competition between businesses, do not apply.

Rear T1 Tree of Heaven x 1 (Ailanthus altissima) Following a recent limb failure and aerial inspection, the tree has been found to contain multiple cavities, deadwood, failed cable bracing, crossing limbs, and several included unions, together with declining historic pollard points. Due to its condition and its location within a busy public garden, we recommend carrying out a heavy crown reduction beyond the previous pollard points. This will reduce the load on the weakened structure and lower the risk of further branch failure while retaining the tree. Suggested work: Carry out a heavy crown reduction by reducing the scaffold framework approximately 4?6 metres below the existing pollard points to create a new pollard framework. This will remove the majority of the compromised upper crown, including defective unions, declining pollard heads, crossing limbs and deadwood, while significantly reducing end weight and wind loading on the remaining structure. The reduction will also provide the tree with the opportunity to establish a new cycle of vigorous regrowth from lower, more structurally suitable points, allowing the tree to be retained and managed safely through future cyclical pollarding.
