Kitchen garden magazine says that sweet chestnut 'Regal' will only be 20
foot in 15 years. Is this feasible or a sad underestimation of the
tree's growth? I thought it might be nice to replace the cherry in the
front garden.

Remember that most sweet chestnuts can be coppiced if not let get
too old before doing so. That is an effective way of keeping their
height down.
