ESB connection

    Hello
    haven't been here in a while as we're busy building. I need to get ESB from the old house on our site to our new build. ESB came out and said thats a meter move €400 so I'm happy. Then they say actually the supply is on a pole on the road (on my side) and to get that to your new meter you'll have to run the supply from the pole down the side of the road in the ditch past my new entrance and up my boundary to the new house. Builder has costed the materials alone for this ie concrete pipe filling in with soil etc and says it would cost more than the price of a new connection (€2,200)
    However there is a more direct route to the new house from this pole but ESB won't consider this in case we make this section into a garden. Its gravelled over for cars at the moment and never going to change.

    I've two questions is there any appeal to this ESB decision? and is the builders cost accurate or does he just not want the hassle ?
