You can work up to 1m from the power lines, 9m seems a bit ott, You only need 2.75m clearance from network rail and that's 25000kv

 

I think an adequately trained tree cutter and with permission from the dno can work up to within 2 metres of the conductors not 1 metre (i may well be wrong). However, i don't think that the op is trained, otherwise he would not be asking. I repeat that untrained persons should not work within 9m or 2 tree lengths of these conductors. Now i think most folk who cut trees will not have a problem working within these perameters but when it is close and you are unsure then i would suggest speaking to the power line company.
