Seems a shame to cut down the tree. Yes it got overgrown, but it wouldn't have cost too much to keep it trimmed back.

We have been told that Tesco contend that the tree 'may' have undermined the building foundations. However, Tesco are not using that side of the building as they have partitioned the building and are only using the left hand side ( as you face it from Allerton Road). Tesco also have concerns about security and people accessing the roof. I think even Corky the Cat would have struggled to get onto the main roof from that tree!
