[How did that happen?]

I think it is related to the use of
heavy plant and machinery as part of large tree felling works perhaps
bringing it within the scope of 'engineering operations'.
Nah, that can’t be right, you don’t need a planning application to use a
digger. This is one of those cases where simple rules of statutory
interpretation apply so that 'engineering' would take its ordinary meaning.
If you had to build a road to undertake the tree removal then OK, you'd need
consent for the road.
Also, large scale tree removal, of the kind that might require the heavy
plant to which you refer, would fall, unless exempted, under the scope of
the Forestry Act 1967: there's nothing in that which hints at such
operations potentially comprising 'development'.
And, as a final a point of interest, forestry is specifically excluded from
'development': s55(2)(e).
