Will they still fly it if he doesn't give them permission?

No idea on any timeline from the Mayor, but the crowdfunder page says the extra money would be used to fly it at least from a barge ...

New stretch target
More money means we can do two exciting things:

1) Throughout Trump Baby's maiden flight in central London, we will give out up to 1000 helium balloons featuring Trump Baby to passersby

2) Enable us to hire a barge to guarantee that Trump Baby will fly, even if the authorities refuse to let us fly him from Parliament Square Gardens, and we are unable to find another free site in a suitably central location

You are referring to The Hindenburg Disaster which happened on May 6/1937 in Manchester Township, New Jersey.

Barrage balloons were flown over London 80 years ago to thwart Nazi aircraft. Now one's being flown to tweak a Nazi windbag.

Here is their funding page; there's a donate button. The amounts are in pounds, but your credit card company will happily handle the currency conversion (and charge a small fee for it):
