If there was an issue then that is grounds to have it felled. Not sure it's old enough to have a preservation order on it but the area might have one. Either way you can get around that if it is indeed causing or going to cause damage.
With a bit of careful investigation you might have been able to knock some money of that, get it felled and bob's your uncle.
I just don't understand why people plant trees infront of the windows of their house. Must block all the light out making it gloomy inside.

The imposing looking properties at numbers 23 & 24 are false façades, with thin air behind the 5 feet (1.5 m) thick walls – look closely and you’ll see that the windows are in fact just painted on, and the doors have no letter boxes.

Anyway. My son lives within 500 yards of a school and he faces similar problems.
The irony is that these parents seem disinclined to be reprimanded by frustrated residents about careless parking as they're seething at having had to settle for a parking spot 500 yards from where they wanted to be.

Just walk past their precious 4x4s with a 50p piece in hand.
Most effective.
