Hello There,

Would you have any idea what it might cost to relocate the pole in the attached videoclip?

Your help and suggestions would be welcome.

Regards,

If it is on your land and causing you trouble,get onto esb networks and tell them to relocate in another part of your land preferably near a ditch/hedge

Fepper I've had a rather different experience with esb.
Asked could they replace poles on my land, gave permission only for a sub contractor to come in and put one pole near hedge ( 3/4 feet out ) but stay 3/4 meters from pole. Rang email they never got back to me. Don't think much of them, when next dealing with them it'll be different.
Will put up video when I get a chance.

Is the problem the stay wires or the pole ? Moving the pole from an ESB point of view would be a big job as there is a 10kv backbone line at the head of the pole and then a spur running at right angles hence the stays. I also see Fault locators on the pole so this is obviously a strategic switching point. You could ask about getting the stays moved. They might change the to shallow stays where they would only be 2 or 3 meters out from the pole but to get the pole moved you would have to have a genuine reason like a conflict with a new building etc etc rather than " I don't like where it is"

Do you have to pay to get a pole moved for a new building?

Looks a fair mess alright,can stock graze there or is it fenced off permanently

Fepper stock can graze all but mostly cut 2 cuts off silage as short draw to yard.
Going to shake them up again as loss half a load of grass.

Just power installed into shed at the moment. The contractors came today to put up the poles. We agreed on where the end one was going. I went off and was back until evening and it was put 6 feet away from where we agreed. They’d sicken your hole.
