They do appear to have tidied up the site very nicely before leaving though.

The line looks like single phase ‘aerial bundled conductor’. The vicinity zone of it is 1m, so to put it highly simply, nothing should intrude on this clearance. To maintain that clearance most DNOs would specify cutting more to allow for the inevitable regrowth. Exactly how much more will depend on the DNO, based on their interpretation of regulations, engineering recommendations, safety rules and contracts with tree firms. It is difficult from a photo to gauge distances. Even using points of reference such as the height of the 30mpg sign against the height of the uncut canopy, the overall height of the tree, the width of the verge or the position of the footpath it’s difficult to estimate that as a 3m (or pretty much 10ft) clearance.

Is the picture showing the old 1m clearance or the current 3m clearance?

1/10 for wit and relevance.

Another change in your story there then. I’m not sure you can be bothered to remember a single thing you have written. 3/10 for effort.

As Joe said, funny though.

Surely this as all fantasy? The way it’s written makes it sound like the DNO produced a document stating that they ‘approved’ some random landowner having a go at removing branches that were up and through their live power line? Don’t think so somehow. I think we’re being drip-fed a particularly poor example of creative writing.

…..but in your original post you wrote it was their tree. Pay attention.

Sorry, but under no circumstances does 33.112.(C.02) grant any exemption that permits the ‘blasting’ of little mermaids.

Good to see that each hornet has been individually named.

I would assume that’s where the rat smoking hose attaches to that @Muddy42 mentioned earlier.

I think you will find that they park on either these: or these:

Maybe, but I always assumed the pickup size was directly proportional to the inability to park considerately during the school run.

Yeah, that looks about par-for-the-course. You would, however, be a bit miffed if you had burnt through a tank of aspen in 15 minutes cutting through that with a 200t.
