    We did something similar about 3 years ago for a mobile home site.
    We were only 80m from out nearest take off & it cost €1,700 including one extra pole.
    I also had to build a concrete block pillar to house the meter & dig a trench 20m long with 2" plastic pipe which had a rope strung through it to pull the cable to the mobile home.

    Bear in mind that they may not connect the mobile home until they get sight of the planning permission for it.
