Moving ESB Poles

    Bought a house and have planning for an extension.
    Problem is that the ESB poles on the property are too close to extension so because planning is granted they have to be moved or so architect told us. All overhead wires that only seem to cross me and 'neighbour 1'

    At first the ESB came out and said they'd put a pole in the bottom left of our site just inside the property, id have no bother with that at all because they said I could run a ducting 18" under the ground for connection to the house and 'neighbour 1' could take our connections from this.

    After that I didn't think any more about 'neighbour 2', I didn't contact them at all because I believed I'd only have to sort my own connection out.

    But now 'neighbour 1' says I'll have to bury the cable from the main pole to the right, outside my property, all the way across and then up to the back of my property, a job that will need a man with a digger for a day, dig the trench and use ESB spec pipe and everything at a cost of about €1400 to me.

    I can't understand why the Pole can't go in my garden and why I need worry about everyone else's connection, should I? 'Neighbour 2' doesn't want a pole in his front garden apparently so that's the problem and 'neighbour 1' seems to think they signed a form 30 years ago that 'neighbour 2' could run his power supply over their house!

    I've included 2 amazing drawings to help explain.
