In a normal year clay soils will shrink in the summer and expand in winter. The problem with heave arises when a property was built on soil which had a soil moisture deficit, often due to the proximity of a large thirsty tree. When/if that tree is removed, the soil swells up to full field capacity.
-
Heave is very rare, even when trees predate the property. A borehole would tell you the soil consistency at relevant depths; the soil has to be of a high plasticity in order to be a consideration.
-
Soil heave as a result of removing vegetation is only a potential issue when the vegetation predates the buildings. Phased reductions are pointless, the soil is going to swell back to its potential whether the tree is removed over three years, or over three hours.

Pruning wounds don't tend to extend into compartmentalised areas of fungal activity. I agree that it's the lesser of two evils though.

Unless it's sited on clay soil with a high shrink/swell potential you have nothing to worry about. 1) How old is the tree in relation to the conservatory and the house? 2) What are the specifications of the foundations of both structures? c) Was there a pre-existing soil moisture deficit when the tree was planted/establishing?

Telegraph poles - new pole on private land
Mark J replied to Paul in the woods's topic in Trees and the Law
Are you in a position to put piles of logs in places that that would prevent them from improvising, on the off-chance you're not there when they rock up? -
Cheers, that comment made my old man snort his tea out. They've recently got a new cocker and have had labs for years.

Odds are that the surveyor will provide the utility company with the cheapest route. We had a similar situation when a tenant on the farm I lived on wanted a phone line in their cottage. BT ended up running the line off existing utility poles and digging a trench for the rest. The Old Man who ran the farm wasn't having any of their new route proposals. -
