I have to wonder why you didn't ask advice before you cut it back so

No actually 2 reasons I didnt cut it down altogether.

1. It was an access issue for the new shed, I didnt need advice on how
to get a shed built past it and the reason for not cutting it down
altogether was that I thought I would give it a chance knowing it will
come back in years to come where I will be able to make a concious
effort to shape it to its surroundings.

and

2. I didn't have a big enough saw to cut the whole thing down, simple
as that.
