Looking for some advice regarding an ESB easement.
We purchased our home just over 4 years - in an estate that is about 8 years old.
I received a phone call from ESB last week to inform us that there is an ESB feeder cable laid underground across our property which had never been registered.
We were not made aware of the existence of this cable when we were buying the house.
The ESB has now send us paperwork requesting the acquisition of an underground wayleave - the main problem from our persepctive being that the language states that we would be prohibited from development over or under this cable route i.e. our planned extension would not be feasible.
Does it make sense to try and fight this - or would it ultimately not be worth it - what are our rights ?
