Satellite dishes

Recently there has been increased use and variety of telecommunications equipment. For example, satellite dishes or antennas. Much of these need to be fixed to a building to work. In some instances, this requires permission from us.

When buying a satellite dish, check if you need to apply for planning permission. You might also need listed building consent. You also need to check before installing a satellite dish. Check whether you need the permission of the landlord or building owner. Sometimes, satellite dishes can be installed without needing to apply for planning permission. This is under 'Permitted Development (PD) rights'.

The documentation gives guidance on the PD rights for installing satellite dishes.

If you are unsure if you need planning permission, use the form to submit an enquiry to the Planning Team -
