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.

Dismantle upper crown, reducing tree to a structure of around 9-10m above ground level (4?5m above height of main fork). Excerpt from Survey: Particularly tall sycamore dominating the edge of the woodland, growing upon a steep embankment. The tree was previously densely clad in ivy which has been severed and stripped, allowing a more thorough inspection. For many years the tree has been subject to progressive crown lifting which has resulted in raising the centre of gravity of its crown. Old unoccluded pruning wound at approximately 8m on the development side. Old wire hawser and screw in bolt type single cable brace installed at around 13m above ground which appeared highly taut. On the north eastern side of the trunk base (approximately bearing of 600),there is a localised cluster of perfect stage burnt crust fungus (Kretzschmaria deusta) within a slight fissure that was previously obscured by ivy growth. At the time of inspection, leaves were only recently expanded. Although vigour appears reduced, there was no obvious significant dieback since the previous assessment. A number of test drillings with a Resistograph were made around the base of the trunk to help ascertain the likely extent of internal decay. The first drilling D2 was made adjacent to the current fungal fruiting bodies at an approximate bearing of 600. This revealed extensive decay/cavity formation beyond 10cm. Drilling D3 was made into a slightly flared area of the trunk base at an approximate bearing of 1000 and revealed extensive decay beyond 18cm. Drilling D4 was made at an approximate bearing of 1500 and revealed extensive decay beyond 10cm penetration ahead of encountering a cavity triggering the auto needle retraction function of the drill. Test drilling D5 was made roughly due south at an approximate bearing of 1900. This revealed sound wood to a depth of 27cm and a cavity beyond. Drilling D6 was made at an approximate bearing of 2500 and showed advanced decay beyond 10cm, leading to...
