What are the planning restrictions for satellite dishes?
For many flat owners the lease, title deeds or transfer documents may not allow you to put up individual satellite dishes. This could be for a number of reasons – potential damage to the building, inappropriate siting, planning constraints or health and safety issues. If you install a dish or aerial without permission, you are likely to be in breach of your lease or title deeds.
There is a limit to the number of aerials and satellite dishes that can be installed on a block of flats. Up to 4 antennae; which is generally regarded as 1 aerial and 3 satellite dishes. If the number installed has already reached the maximum allowed you will need planning permission to install more.
