Its a common mistake when planting trees, not taking into account how big they will be in say, 15 years time and then, 20 years. The older they get the more expensive to deal with, 30 meters away from a house or wall is still a bit to close, the roots always extend past the canopy of the tree.
Cut yours off at ground level, then apply stump killer to the stump, digging out roots can damage walls and buildings, plus give you backache
