Over the years’ we’ve seen plenty of justified disputes about the poor placement of broadband street cabinets by UK ISPs and network builders, but we’ve also seen a fair few unjustified ones. The latest example of the latter comes from Harrow, where a seemingly overblown complaint has hit one of Virgin Media<\/a>’s (VMO2) cabinets.<\/p>\n

In this case, the issue centres on a rental property that was built on Harrow’s Roxeth Green Avenue. A lot of homes in this area have dropped kerbs so that cars can park on their driveways. The landlord of this property, Laxmi Kerai, wanted to do the same but claims to have been obstructed by the presence of VMO2’s cabinet directly in front of her house.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s not really fair that I should be expected to pay [thousands of pounds] to have it moved when it\u2019s a clear case of poor urban design. I\u2019ve never seen a box placed like this; they\u2019re usually on the corner out of the way. All you would have to do is move it slightly and a car could get by. It\u2019s not inclusive, it affects those who might rely on a car. This property is aimed at families, but I can only advertise to those who don\u2019t drive<\/em>,” said Laxmi to MyLondon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Whether allowable or not within the planning rules (broadband cabinets are usually deployed under Permitted Development<\/strong>), most people would probably be sympathetic to the situation of having a street cabinet suddenly dumped in front of their driveway. We could understand that. But in this case, the cabinet has existed for 13 long years and pre-dates the complainant\u2019s ownership of the property.<\/p>\n

On top of that, the past pictures show that the property has never had a dropped kerb and the cabinet actually sits on a grass verge, which is just in front of the pavement, which itself sits in front of the house. Previously, the house had a fence and hedge in front. The mistake the new landlord appears to make is to assume that she’d be able to get such a cabinet moved, after having purchased the property with the knowledge of what it was like, and all at somebody else’s cost. The council have also declined her request for a dropped kerb over safety issues (cars would have to come in at an angle).<\/p>\n

A Spokesperson for VMO2 said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The cabinet on the verge outside Ms Kerai\u2019s house has been located in the same position for more than 13 years. The cabinet is not blocking a dropped kerb or official driveway but if a customer is unhappy with the location of one of our cabinets, they should contact us directly and we will review their concerns.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

At the end of the day, when buying a house that you plan to change, it’s important to assess and verify what you can and cannot do BEFORE parting with your money. In this case the cabinet has clearly existed for many years and the property owner does have the option to get it moved, but the cost will fall on her shoulders to do so and that’s fair.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
