If the sycamores were growing on farmland, where the farmer lets things be, then let the sycamores have there way.

So we agree that when sycamore is getting out of hand, and blocking out competition, the best course would be to remove them? This of course on condition that the area is replanted with more suitable species.
But as lone trees or groups of trees in a hedgerow for example, leave them be?
This seems sensible to me!............ to you?
