It is NOT illegal to use a chainsaw on a pubile road. I did a LOT of research on this a few years ago and talked to lots of goverment bodies about it. If you are getting paid for doing the work you need to have all the right H&S gear and regs in place, doing it for yourself then all you need is a chainsaw!!
As for removing the wood, that would be theft!! just cut enough to carry on your way and leave the cut wood at the side of the road/lane.

HSE do not want to know as it is not work related. DoT do not want to know as it is not work related. Police only want to know if the saw was used as weapon. I have used my chainsaw in front a police officer without a problem. I even asked my local MP. I can not remember who else I spoke to about it, but I spent a lot of time on this.
If anyone else wants to look at it again then they are more than happy to.
