Judging by the skill with which the tree was done, they probably needed to replace the fence and the sheds when they were finished.

The first time it was cut it was done by a professional the second recent one was a diy job, this was it before it was cut recently all photos in this thread are the same tree the first photo was taken when it had barely been cut at all throughout it's life, it was untouched for almost 20 years before. Is it definitely an oak tree?

the soil plasticity is 53%, i'm trying to work out the water demand of the tree to see if it would still be a problem even if it is removed. But I think they intend to keep it. I will try and get a photo of the bark, our extension would be 7m away give or take, current house 12m away

we need close ups

That explains every question I asked. 

Architect/structure engineer is the best way to answer your questions.

Once the tree is identified the engineer will want the footings dug deeper so as to cover is arse Therefore just dig the footings deeper and save on costs

The engineer is not interested in identifying the tree, just telling us that it should be piled. But before I go ahead with that cost I want to make sure it is 100% necessary

 

I will get some close up shots of the tree

Pile it. Done and done  🙂 K

If the soil is any kind of question then pile it in case somebody else plants another tree in future.
