Dear [insert contact person name]:

Re: Notice to trim trees at [insert property address] – Notice reference number

On [date], we received a notice about trimming trees around electricity lines on our property at [insert property address]

I write to inform you that the trees in question are protected by an open space covenant established under the Queen Elizabeth II National Trust Act 1977.

Because of the covenant, the works must be carried out by you at your cost, pursuant to Regulation 8 of the Electricity [Hazards from Trees] Regulations 2003.

Nothing can be done to prejudice the open space values protected by the covenant without the National Trust’s consent. I will be in contact with the National Trust to get approval for you to trim the trees.

You may contact me on [insert contact number] to discuss trimming of the trees.

Please confirm in writing that you have received this letter.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]
