'Human nature being what it is there is an incentive to maximise the pay
back although it is inevitably dressed up as "I'm just trying to be
green".
LPAs need to determine applications on the usual balance of private loss
-v- public amenity, but I'd like to see realistic assessments of the
actual reduction in output trees might cause. I strongly suspect that
most householders don't weigh it against the cost of the tree work
needed to achieve full sun on the panels, especially if the subsidy from
tax payers isn't allowed for.

Amenity and being green is great, but how much energy through
manufacture does it take to produce a PV. Include transportation and
installation costs, and all this would add up to a big carbon footprint.
Compare this to the quantity of carbon being sequestered by those trees
affecting PV efficiency. There could be an imbalance however if work by
chainsaw was necessary to alleviate light loss, increasing carbon output
in favour of PV via Arboricultural operations;
petrol/woodchipping/composting etc.
Having trees that close to a property, casting a shadow onto roof space
(effecting a proposed PV installation) there may be other matters to
consider such as potential for tree related subsidence. Two birds/one
stone.
