Blimey, let's get it into perspective, the cabinets are not pretty but it's hardly a block of flats rendering their flat pitch dark. There's a hedge behind about half of it so unless they were planning to keep that hedge the same size/thickness then the amount of light they've lost because of the cabinets is pretty small and will reduce as the hedge grows and hides it. Without knowing what the other installation options were it's hard to say whether much more could have been done to site the box in a less obtrusive place. Nobody is going to want one right outside their home and of course for it to suddenly appear is going to be a bit of a shock to these people so I do have some sympathy.
