Bar something very strange going on councils approve the locations of every cabinet. Even in areas where the city is giving VM some latitude they still want to know where all structures are going to avoid safety issues.

Tell that to Lambeth, or rather those on WRVAUX 54. Lambeth insisted that BT erect our gap-funded AIO cab on the opposite side of the street and then issued a section 58 notice that delayed the cab being connected holding up completion of the project for many months.

Indeed, and I think the height limit may be 1.4m or 4' 7". Judging by the lady, the cabinet might well be higher than that.

Or some very judicious use of camera positioning to fool the eye.

Mind you, those "ground floor" flats do look to be somewhat below street level. Was the developer doing this on the cheap again, trying desperately to squeeze an extra floor in?

Nah. Huawei 288s are 1.6m.

Some councils are a law entirely unto themselves. My own has done what it can to expedite delivery of broadband services in the area to the point where the VM presser mentioned how they had encouraged the investment by cutting red tape.

What a shame, now they can't see cars going past, or look into the windows of the people opposite.

It hardly blocks light, in the image you can see the shadow doesn't reach their window. It's not like they had picturesque views before.

Explain this please-Openreach (and I assume VM) don�t need planning permission to erect or move cabinets. Openreach often move cabinets without speaking to the council. I can think of an example at the moment where a copper cabinet is being moved over the road, it was on a list to be uplifted as it�s a complete mess. So the decision was taken to just move it over the road at the same time, and it�ll be right next to it�s fibre cabinet twin now. No permission was asked.

Still need to put in a street works notice indicating the details of the work - the council can object to the siting and design even though they can't object to the work happening in principle. Openreach have to consider the objections.

If on a permit road the council can refuse to give a permit to work depending on the works in question.
