Moving ESB Pole

    Thinking of getting a site on the land sorted. There’s a pole slap in the middle and the supporting wires coming from two sides. The next poles on both lines, are all mounted on much lower ground, with a valley between mine and the next one.
    I imaging to the amateur I am, that I would need to replace the ESB pole in midfield of my site, with two pokes, on the edges of mine. I don’t know if I’m making myself clear here🀨.
    Anybody with any experience in this area? Is it much hassle / cost to get this stuff done? For that matter, could ESB refuse to do the necessary engineering and relay out work?

    ESB would be the people to ask before doing anything.Don't poles belong to the ESB with the landowner giving wayleave to erect them.

    The ESB will normally move the pole free of charge providing it isnt a "high voltage" line and of course subject to you producing a copy of your planning permission including maps.
