CalvinHobbes Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 (edited) Had a chat with the planner at the power company today we have a 3 phase pole smack in the middle of our intended driveway. He explained if it was on our property they would move it for free if it washindering development but since I don't think it is on our land, we would have to pay. Then I pointed out there was a stay for it on our property (which we don't receive payment for)and he said I could do an application because of the stay. He has heard of it being successful before though he didn't sound uber hopeful. He said it would be up to an engineer (higher level). Anyone else have experience of similar? I also pointed out the pole has been there a long time and probably needs replaced. 😬 Edited October 7, 2022 by CalvinHobbes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adsibob Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 That pole is wooden right? There is a great song by the Prodigy that comes to mind… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Ambrose Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Depending on your DNO it may be very hard or slightly less hard to get them to move the pole at their expense. The bad news might be expensive. It does look pretty end-of-life though and the stay isn't doing anything - you could ask how old it is and when it'll be coming up for replacement. Or what would happen if you report it as unsafe. Which DNO? Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
