They'll ask for it even if the trees are technically on town/state deeded roadway -- if you deny it, they could always measure afterwards and decide your permission wasn't needed ;)
If you refuse, IIRC the utility can appeal to the town's Tree Warden. Yes, we have people called Tree Wardens. They're responsible for protecting "shade trees" but also removing dangerous trees from along the roads.
Usually I don't see a big hassle either way. You do see the occassional hack job that makes you cringe and wonder why they didn't just take the whole thing down.
Gave 'em permission a few weeks back for my place -- I have 600' of frontage on two roads. I'm not worried about the roads since there's nothing particularly scenic on either.
They will be trimming on my property, too -- my transformer is on a pole 200' in from the road. Actually real happy to see that -- I have a couple Ash trees with ash yellowing that ain't looking so hot, plus a maple near the lines there. I work from home mostly, so when they're here, I'm going to see how much I can convince them to drop the whole trees. I can cut 'em up for firewood, and it'll give my garden more late afternoon sunlight.
