Hello everyone
We have, or are about to, purchase a plot of land where a few trees are still standing. These are spruces, unfortunately located close to the power line that runs across the property, as well as near the telephone cable that also crosses the land.
So, it will probably be necessary to carry out hazard tree removal. Or is it possible to ask the power company and the telecom provider if they can temporarily disconnect the lines for a certain period to allow the trees to be cut down? Then the neighbor’s house would have to manage without electricity for an hour or two... :-(
I think that could be cheaper than handling the removal of eight trees as hazard trees, right?
This is the middle plot, and although I’m not happy about the cables crossing the property, it’s a small village and all houses are connected like this to power and telephone lines :-(
Best regards
Andreas

It doesn’t hurt to ask.
I’m surprised that you are allowed to simply remove large trees; usually, there is a tree protection ordinance or a state law that prohibits this.
The statement about October is just a general indication of the period when tree felling is permitted.

Andreas_793 Jun 2020 09:09Yes, there is tree protection in place, but the official from the responsible authority said that for the spruces we don’t need to plant new ones, and we can remove them without any issues starting in October.
Basically, I’m happy to plant new ones elsewhere, but first the cables need to be removed.
Let’s see what the lawyer recommends on Friday, then I will definitely talk to the power supplier and the telecom company.
I’d like to have this settled before the notary appointment, which is probably next week.
@danixf, the next pole is further up to the right, so it’s out of sight. Yes, the red circle marks the pole, and both the yellow and red lines represent the power and telecom cables.
Best regards,
Andreas

If I assume that eventually a house will be built to the height of the two houses on either side of us, then every day from the terrace I look at the 4 cables plus the cables that then also run to our house :-( Again: The most straightforward solution to get the lines off your property would be to install another pole in front of the left neighbor’s property. This way, the lines would no longer run over your property but in front of it, though still within your line of sight. You can’t expect a new underground connection to be installed there.
You will always see some cables.

Andreas_793 Jun 2020 10:12@Tassimat, yes, on the neighbor’s property to the left or at the lower left end of our property would be okay.
I still think that’s better than running it across the entire property. Also, there are trees at the end that help obscure the view of the cables.
@Pinky0301, good idea. I’ll tell my wife to get written confirmation. An email should be fine.
On the phone, everything sounded like no problem and so on... although a few of the spruce trees seem to be dead anyway and will probably need to be cut down for safety reasons.
I don’t expect any issues since the area is full of spruce trees...

Andreas
