I obviously don't have a clue Saul as I'm not an arborist as you know but why not scaffolding?

or if money is not there for that then couldn't it be done from the inside?  with a few acro jacks if that wall is supporting and then start removing what roots are internal until the bugger goes, will obviously fall heavy in one but you guys prob can direct fall with ropes? bricks are gonna fall what ever method unless scaffold ect Then again can it ever be repaired without scaffolding?

poison the bugger

To scaffold that out would cost more than the building is worth, slight exaggeration, but you get what I mean?

Hey Mark,
It's a 15 minute job with another 15 minutes to eco plug.
It'll take longer to set the mewp up than the actual job.
It's the safest, cheapest option.

How about self drive vehicle platform? SMART platforms in Trafford park do a daily hire, cheaper than scaffolding.

Looks easy...said the blind man. 
 
Find a suitable anchor point (even if it is on the other side with a 9x3 through a window on the other side.. rope goes up over roof scaffolding board on ledge to spread the load and somthing to stop friction on the rope... across the roof.. same as on the other side (scaffold boards and some frictionsaverover the rope) drop rope to ground and SRT up..
cut tree, your choice of lowering technique or free fall. Then descend back down.. and maybe look cool for a pic or two..[emoji848][emoji41]
Edit.. I guess there’s no window on the other side. So I guess it a crane job or heli

Fine big girder half way down the other side for an anchor.... price the mewp/scaff (big bucks quote) and give them that first, then give a quote to climb and fell for two ton less and everyone’s happy...

Give it a dose of Glyphosate off the roof and leave it a couple of months. What's the flat roof like above it ?

Or this.

Or this.

That would probably do the job.
Got me thinking now....

Will it do 20-25m and boom out with 2 people in?

Clients want it gone ASAP.
The roof is fine, but the 6' wall above is buggered because of the tree.
If the wall was sound it would be an easy abseil job.
