Perhaps they'll just clear the area around the cables and leave the rest for some sympathetic pruning? I saw some lads a while ago who do utility contracts at work. They were good for clearance and take down work, but I do wonder how much damage they'd do to a tree like this cherry.

 

how much clearance is purely up to the tree owner - and tell the tree owner to specify all cuts must be to british standard 3998

I thought there is a specified distance from live cales ...So may be not up to the tree owner

You're quite right, ESQCR regs are 3m for a climbable tree to conductor, although the tree owner can allow less than minimum clearance. Although this means that the owner is liable for health and safety stuff,
