The above sentences use the V(さ)せる forms - though they do not indicate
permission/compulsion. Could someone help understand this form please?

V(さ)せる when it doesn't indicate permission/compulsion
They actually _do_ indicate compulsion:

  * 知{し}らせる: Literally, "to make known", or in other words; "to inform/notify".

> 桜は暖かくなってきたことを知らせるように咲きます。

"The cherry blossoms bloom as if to inform [their viewers] that it has become
warmer (or more freely: that warmer days have arrived)."

  * 咲{さ}かせる: "to make bloom"

> 秋の終わりから花を咲かせはじめ......

"To make/force/let flowers start blooming from the end of autumn..."
