Question
aesmith
Hi,
I have a guy from SSE coming to see me on Saturday to discuss cutting back one of our trees to increase clearance from their 11kV line. I have no problem in principle, but was wondering whether I should let them go ahead, or arrange the work myself. Do these power distribution guys normally do a decent job, with the work done by a proper tree surgeon or at least by someone who considers the affect on the tree?
Also, looking at it from another angle, how close to 11kV lines would an independent arborist be happy working?
I just wanted to get a bit of an opinion so I know how to play it when the guy comes round.
Thanks, Tony S
