• Tree Regulations

Certain rights and obligations remain unaffected by these regulations:

• the right to compensation under s 58 of the Electricity Act for removal of trees existing before the construction of a line;
• the requirement to comply with certain safety obligations under the Electricity Regulations 1997;
• any claims that a line owner may have against a tree owner in respect of any damage caused to a line by a tree owner.

The regulations do not affect the operation of any agreement between a line owner and a tree owner provided it does not alter minimum distances from line as specified in the schedule to the regulations.
