ESB 110Kv lines moving

Milton09

I realize that I'm probably wasting my time here but has anyone ever seen or heard of getting a pair of 110kv triple line electricity poles moved?

The best and only potential for a site on my land is destroyed by one of these lines running diagonally across the field - no amount of 37 euro/year payments could compensate for this.

If you get planning for the site they will move them for free or else a small sum, that's the case for normal esb lines anyway

Saw them moved when a site was sold locally during the good times, mind you they only moved them 20 yards or so.

A neighbour with 240 kv lines was told on no uncertain terms would they be moved, but if he was successful in obtaining planning permission within the 'restricted' zone to get back on to them.

He was successful in obtaining planning and rumour has it he was compensated for the value of the site.

He was and is a member of the IFA, who were more than helpful..........

If it's definitely 110kv then it will be eirgrid you need to make a submission to about moving the line.

No, it's ESB's line.

OP, If you make a planning application under the line and it is granted permission then the line must be moved or you must be compensated for the loss of the site.

ESB/IFA Code of Practice refers.

Thanks to all for the reply's.

Page 6 on the ESB/IFA Code of practice mentions loss of development rights
here

Will look into this further.

have got hundreds of lines moved over the years

one thing the esb need is plenty of notice as they have a drawn out communications from one man to the other

but fire ahead and get planning and if you are granted they will have to move them full stop.
