Good points being made about the overall carbon footprint of PV versus 
retention of the tree. However, the trees are very close to the house, are 
large and the crowns almost over-sail the roof being at the edge of a 
woodland TPO, made prior to the creation of a new housing estate. The issue 
has since raised another one, which is, accuracy of the TPO. The 'applicant' 
has since pointed out that the accurately plotted TPO boundary falls short of 
including the tree(s) and hence they are not protected. Whilst we both 
acknowledged that the spirit of the TPO meant to include the two trees they 
clearly fall outside of it by a couple of metres. I guess if challenged in 
law the decision would rest with the actual drawn outline. Anybody think 
otherwise?

As it's a case of a house shoved up against the side of a woodland TPO there 
is no loss of amenity etc (barely any) so at the moment I am inclined to go 
with his conclusion that they are unprotected and avoid an unnecessary fight.

'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.
