1st Site visit by Scottish Power to discuss burial of electricity wires Entry posted by Lucy Murray June 22, 2017 1900 views Share More sharing options... Followers 0 22.06.17 - Scottish Power have come to look at putting power lines running across our plot underground and also at moving an H pole. 2 weeks and we should have a couple of drawings sent to us so we can make a decision as to how we'll proceed.
Redoctober 413 Posted June 22, 2017 Looks a great location - is that weather recent? - The task sounds and looks expensive! Lets hope it comes good for you when the paperwork is returned. PW.+ Link to comment
ProDave 8467 Posted June 23, 2017 I will be interested to hear the price for that move. There is a potential plot here with a similar setup, except the H pole has a 100KVA transformer sat on it, The quote was in the order of £50K making the land worthless in effect. In this case there is no obvious place to move anything to. Link to comment
Lucy Murray 34 Posted June 23, 2017 @Redoctober - the weather was about 6 weeks ago. It's a beautiful view when the fog lifts. I expect what we'll end up doing is putting the wires that run across the plot underground. We'll dig the trenches. The wires will run down towards the silver car in the picture and then left along the boundary (which is where the crop starts) and we'll put a pole in at the other side of the plot where the wires will obviously go back up above ground. There's a woodpecker living in one of the H poles and so SP have agreed to replace the poles & move the H pole a couple of metres FOC. These couple of metres make quite a big difference and should mean that we wont see the H pole quite as much when we're in our garden. I'll let you know what we're quoted. Exciting times ahead!
