When our road was cabled years ago the cable company wanted to put the green cabinet right next to a neighbour's side wall. They complained on the basis that this would enable anyone who so desired to climb over their wall into their back garden. The company concerned moved it 10m down the hill to just outside their front garden which they were fine with. IIRC little or no cabling had been done at that point so it wasn't a big job.

I can't help thinking that there are times when a little bit of common sense would go a long way but there will always be cases where there's no ideal solution and someone or other is going to have to put up with something they don't like.
