It is very common that when a quotation is requested to remove or re-route a powerline, whether as a result of visual impact or proposed development, that the network operator will put the full cost of any diversion onto the landowner. The networks also offer no advice on alternative options and use restrictive timescales to edge landowners into accepting these quotes.

 
However, in many cases the Distribution Network Operator (DNO) may not hold the correct rights to have their equipment in situ. This means that some, or all of the cost of removal should fall to the DNO depending on the impact on value their equipment has to the exisiting property or any proposed development.
