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.

18 Wightwick Hall Road Wolverhampton West Midlands WV6 8BZ
We have previously communicated by email and phone to discuss the requirements to re-provide the boundary treatments adjacent to the public highway. This includes the provision of the boundary treatments between 18, wightwick hall rd and 20, wightwick hall rd. following our discussion it was agreed that: 1) the fence panels adjacent to the highway will require planning permission. we therefore request consideration for planning approval for 6 foot panels adjacent to the highway (wightwick hall rd) as these are in alignment with a principle windows (bedroom). this will be 6 foot from the natural ground level of the highway. 2) the fence panels nearest to the neighbours driveway (20 wightwick hall rd) will be maintained at a lower height to enable visibility from the driveway, noting that there are trees that already exceed this height and visibility. for note we will be providing new fencing along the garden boundary between 18 & 20 Wightwick Hall Rd at a height of 6 foot from the neighbouring ground level
