  10. By rights a normal tree contractors are not meant to work on any tree with in falling distance of any overhead powerlines. If you look at a job & its closer all you have to do is get intouch with the DNO/REC & they will make dead said area so the work can be carried out safely at no cost to yourself. I have known normal tree contractors to use line clearance teams to get the trees out of the proximity zone to make safe then they finish the job.This way they get the full price of the job as the line clearance time justbills the DNO. But here are a few safety distances for you. upto 1000Kv 1m vicinty zone upto & including 11Kv 2m vicintity zone
