Building near utility pole

[bgb0551]

I have a wooden electric pole in my back garden that feed multiple houses. I’m planning on building an extension and a trying to find out how close to the wooden pole I can extend to. As the pole is already close to the property I ideally want to extend to within 1meter of the pole if possible.
Does anyone know what the regs are for this?

Is it definitely electric supply, or could it be telecoms?
There may be different regs.

Definitely electric

Contact power company they can move it (at a price).

We built the gables up on this. 4 board scaffold was touching the pole. We had the line shrouded free of charge. We about 800mm

Have they got a wayleave in place? if not you may be able to get them to move it for nothing if you were to offer to sign the wayleave. I managed that at my daughters, it was directly in front of her lounge window!
