Do I need permission to erect a TV satellite dish on my house?

Where the erection of a dish type antenna used for the receiving and transmitting of signals from satellites is to take place on or around a house the following limitations apply:

• No more than one such antenna shall be erected on, or within the curtilage of a house
• The diameter of any such antenna shall not exceed 1 metre
• No such antenna shall be erected on, or foward of, the front wall of the house
• No such antenna shall be erected on the front roof slope of the house or higher than the highest part of the roof of the house

If any of these restrictions are to be exceeded planning permission is required. In the case of a simple television antenna, other than a satellite television signal receiving antenna, the height of the antenna above the roof of the house shall not exceed 6 metres. If the antenna is higher than this, permission is required.
