That was my reaction, but plane leaves are also lobed. For better
indentification, we need a closer picture of the leaves and of the
fruit (if any).

The answer is, of course, there are plenty of suitable trees - but
we need to know the location, soil type, whether deciduous or
evergreen is wanted, and the timescale to grow to 9 metres.
