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.
The freeholder, property manager or factor however, needs to ensure that access to TV signals is maintained. The communications Act 2003 s134 says that consent may not be unreasonably be withheld where someone wishes to install equipment themselves. The installing or an IRS system is popular because all flats can be connected to satellite services without the need for individual dishes or aerials. SkyHomes offers a communal free shared dish option that is a popular low cost solution in the private housing sector. It does, however, require everyone who wants to access the service to take up a minimum subscription.

If there is a Restrictive Covenant on a block of Flats restricting the right to erect a Satellite Dish directly on to the building does this restrict rights to receive Broadcast Signals from whomsoever one chooses, and if not what is the best way to proceed.
Can anyone help
