You probably find your not insured to do it anyway, I don't go anywhere near electricity. My big brother helps me doing ground work at times. he's an electrical engineer, and some of the stories he's told me about accidents involving electricity I just don't go near it.

The customer can specify what is known as a restricted cut which means that the bare minimum is taken off to allow clearance; usually works out that the cutters will be back each year to snip off any regen.

yes they can with draw there wayleave agreement (assuming they have a pole on there land) but if that pole/cable supplies there property the DNO can refuse to supply power to there property.

It gets more complicated when it doesn't supply you. I think the DNO has 2 years to remove it once cancelled
