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.

T1 Sycamore Crown Reduction Specification: I propose a overall crown reduction of up to 2 to 3 metres in branch length (measured from the outer canopy tip back to suitable lateral growth points/four-inch stems). This equates to an approximate 15% to 20% proportional reduction of the overall crown volume. Targeted Limb Reduction Overextended branches overhanging the main lawn/garden area will be reduced by up to 3 metres to alleviate end-weight stress and mitigate the risk of branch failure. Deadwooding Full removal of all dead, diseased, and hollow branches will be carried out concurrently.
