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 this record
Reading the register
This page mirrors an entry on the statutory planning register that Westminster is required to keep. The published feed for this record does not state which type of application it is, which is common for older entries and for some council systems; the register entry on the council portal will say, alongside the case officer and any consultation dates.
Every planning application follows the same broad path: submission, validation, publicity, then a decision by officers or committee. Our guide to planning application types explains the common types and what each can approve.

T1 Himalayan birch: Fell Justification for Removal: The Betula pendula (Silver Birch) has outgrown its confined setting and now exhibits a leggy and unbalanced form, characteristic of suppression and constrained growth conditions. The tree?s proximity to adjacent buildings presents an ongoing management concern, with limited scope for sympathetic pruning without detriment to its structural integrity or appearance. Given its size, form, and position, it is no longer suitable for its location and cannot be sustainably retained without recurring maintenance or risk of nuisance to nearby structures.
