A local landowner has a planning application on the go at the moment on which he is claiming some 500m of 11KV overhead distribution cable is to be buried. Anyone any idea how much this will cost?

IIRC Getty paid for some overhead electricity supply to be
diverted/re-rounted when there was a proposal for it to cross his
property just north of Guildford.

Absolutely no idea.

But.
A guy I know took up helicopter flying as a hobby and there were some
11KV lines along 2 sides of his property that made parking awkward. He
came to an agreement with the power company that they supplied the cable
and terminated the ends while he dug the trenches to their spec'. They
inspected as he went along and seemed happy. From what I gathered at
the time they covered the cost of the cable and he paid for the ground
works and terminating. Maybe your land has struck a similar deal? If
he already has the manpower and machinery it may be a lot cheaper than
getting the board to do all the work.
