Also - erection of a dish at the front of a property is not exempt from planning permission unlike doing so at roof/chimney height or at the rear of the property. This is separate from any preclusions that might be contained in a private management agreement.RainyDay said:Would there be any impact on the value of your property if every apartment/duplex in the complex have an ugly dish stuck on the front wall?
Anybody who feels this way should not sign a management agreement that contains such a preclusion and, if they can't negotiate the removal of that condition, buy elsewhere.Darth Vader said:I dont see why having a satellite dish should have an impact on the price of the property. I would have thought that the majority of people would want to have satellite television or at the very least, the option of having it.
I consider this Management Company ban on satellite dishes to be over the top and not at all warranted. Surely, after paying a fortune for a house you should have the right to put up a satellite dish if you want.

Yes - I don't expect a buyer to be able to negotiate a change to the management agreement although I managed to get a special dispensation from the "no shrubs/trees" rule in ours but everybody (including the management company) ignores it anyway. Our estate is one of about 140 townhouses (no apartments or duplexes etc.) and has a no dishes/aerials rule and at the last AGM the directors undertook to enforce this but have not done so yet.CCOVICH said:I don't know of many (any?) places that allow for satellite dishes in the agreement signed by residents at time of purchase. A colleague of mine bought a house recently and dishes were prohibited. It's understandable that dishes should be prohibited on (most?) apartments, but houses should be a different matter (IMHO).
eamon said:As I understand it, you only need planning permission to erect a dish on the front of your house, so what can the managemnt company do if the dish is on the chimney of a freehold property?
1. Not more than one such antenna shall be erected on, or within the curtilage of a house.
2. The diameter of any such antenna shall not exceed 1 metre.
3. No such antenna shall be erected on, or forward of, the front wall of the house.
4. 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.
From the planning and devlopment regulations 2001, satellite dishes are exempt from planning with the following exceptions.
