I'm sure it will work out ok, not cost a huge sum of money, and not cause your neighbours much inconvenience...
Now you’ve been told, no negative answers, next time it’s a smack!
@Juliespierin honestly and joking apart, this is not a case of just being negative, it’s setting realistic expectations. VM or it’s precursor company, will have been given permission from the local authority to put the cabinet there, that cabinet has cable connections to dozens, at least, of customers. Moving it means cutting all of them off from phone, internet and TV for, days, possibly weeks while cables are repulled through ducts etc and connected up. All of those costs would, even if VM were prepared to do it, fall on you, many, many 10’s of thousands of pounds. Realistically VM won’t want the disruption to their customer base and almost certainly will refuse point blank to to it.
I do have sympathy with you, before the address was taken down, I had a quick look on Google Street View, and, yes, the parking situation isn’t brilliant in your road is it?
It did look as if there might just be space to the right of the cabinet to put a drop curb and hard standing in or is that not the case?
