Interesting, I can not do that, as 30W would face the west and aim
the dish at the gale, i leave mine on 28e so its, well half and half,mines in the garden, must do a pic. Also who complained about your big dish
neighbours?

Not sure could of been the local nosey parker across the way, but a "to let" sign went up next door just after, so could have been the letting agents.

Either way I still have a dish up just slightly smaller.

Either way, if you had a statutory notice served, that is remove it
in 28 days, or then apply for permission in retrospect, you have an
absolute right to see who complained,the complaint must be in writing
and the Council would tell the complainant that you would have the right to see the letter.This is to stop mischief making.

If it was just a visit and a word in the ear from the Council,then the
Council official will have just brought it to your attention, Anyhows in planning law the Council Official should have given you the option,

In Wrexham we have big dishes everywhere and the local Council
Wrexham County Council, place this low priority, due to the numbers
of East Europeans, almost every spar has a 1.5 meter dish without
planning. You must have had a young too over enthusiastic official
visit you. Unless here in Wrexham its a listed building etc, no problems.

PPS, A few Sly reps have been known to travel around and

complain, I have spelled you know who Sly , otherwise on this site it highlights Murdochs outfit and you get an advert.

I didnt know that you could ask who complained, It was a 28 day notice to remove the dish, and they stated that I could apply for planning permission but they doubt it would be succesful.

I have attached a copy of the letter but edited out my details for obvious reasons

Just to add all the dishes round here seem to be under 1m, but one house not far away has four Viasat dishes on the front.

... they have actually quoted the act wrong, there is no such section as s. 171A ... they meant Section 172, part 1, subsection a)... and that section/ subsection of the 1990 act might even be superseded by now, although I doubt it's meaning will have altered materially (apart the new dish sizes) and the new regs that came into force in October re new permitted developments on extensions etc...

I wouldn’t 'play' with them though… even though they’ve quoted it wrong … you're always better trying to work with them and the (latest) act towards the essence of what’s wanted…. A bigger dish has a better chance if you have done a lot to make it more acceptable re: positioning, minimising steelwork, painting it & the steelwork to match surroundings ..

And/ or … put the big dish hidden in the back garden on a temporary mount (not fixed) and a smaller dish over the roof from the back. You only actually need a bigger dish for a few sats/ beams.

coloured pony · 18-02-2009

In the reply I was saying the wording from Kettering Council is very poor,,as far as putting a warning on the land registry,that can only apply after a coviction in court,they are talking building an extention,this can take years after appeals.
here,also insurance is nothing to do with them also,unless you mortgage or rent from them, no attention to detail on the council letter,in fact as Pedro says, this letter is not valid,wrong acts quoted.
Anyhow as you have taken thre mast down,and yes better to hide it,if someone as complained and your name is on the Council data base,be it e mail or whatever, under data protection Act,you have the right to see it. Its all a mesh mash, that letter was written by a junior without any
attention to detail, the guy with 4 masts, have a word see if hes been targetted,also the quote in the letter,if you apply in 28 days in retrospect,cost you £250 to do this,the Officer would inform the lay planning Committee to refuse it, but you could attend and state your case. Ill bet there are many bookies in Kettering using 1.5 meter dishes without permission. There is also a lot of thought,that if a big dish is seen its for soccer,pubs etc and like you the spys will list addresses and get paid, unless it was a neighbour ,anyhow good luck,have a look at Kettering Council web site,planning/sat dishes etc,see what it says, then be well armed.

I read that letter with tongue in cheek too, especially those references in the last para..hmm... (but that would work on some folk!).

At the end of the day, if it was installed on the front of the house & with that open green to the side, ie- very highly visible... then it was only a matter of time ...

but.. there probably hasn't been a real test case yet...

I can't see the problem of a big dish in the grounds of a property discreetly located requiring expensive planning permission where so many other things don't size v size... like scruffy garden sheds, falling down greenhouses...

rotary washing lines

... etc..

but if there was a highly publicised test case then it might back fire and just make it a lot worse all round instead... so it's probably better carrying on and just try to keep it all as discreet as possible ... it's what they want ...

btw.. we often see local council's interpreting central government regs wrongly in letters, leaflets & online, so read their site but also the official regs. It can be really useful to know more than they do.

coloured pony · 18-02-2009

Fully agree Pedro, I ended up knowing more about the regs than the Council,
its also where its sited, colour of house etc, some Sat Dishes are painted in
colours that make them look bigger, and those that advertise Triax etc,only
draw attention. if it can go at ground level its better & more hidden,otherwise
paint the dam thing the same colour as the house,including the holder.

Message to the Mods, sorry about the link,I thought I had disarmed it.

SUPERTRACK diseqc motor it is established 2 years ago. The customer very much wished to have only one dish.Dish to be on.SATTrajectory, partially, is blocked by trees, they should be sawn, periodically. It is visible from 90E to 36E. In this district SUPERTRACK can rotate from 125.5E to 13E.

Trees pass solar beams. The municipal service helps at a distance branches. For autocratic removal of a tree - the penalty 600$.

Did you drill the window sil, or use a clamp.

Dish it is established on a balcony. A protection of a balcony from metal corners. Fastening to a protection - hairpin М8\3 of a point \.Precisely and quickly - the house is constructed correctly.
P.S: Dish - 1.2 m.Supral.

coloured pony · 18-03-2009

Thanks for the reply. what motor are you using, make etc, any problems with high winds, also is there a limit on dish size,here
in Wales the limit without permission is one meter, but the local Council Wrexham, is not too bothered.

Thanks,coloured pony, I used motor SUPERTRACK \made in China, the price 80$, plastic-metal a gear wheel \. In this place dish is closed from a strong wind. On a building facade, round a balcony and the window of the owner of apartment, is not present an interdiction for installation dish. Dish should not disturb to neighbours, it is necessary to live in peace and friendship. There can be envious persons. In associations of proprietors and on facades of houses of the main streets installation dish, sometimes, is forbidden or demands the coordination. Under the law the proprietor of apartment in the many-storeyed house has the right to a part of the area of a roof and at technical possibility dish to be put on top. In this case at the owner rent of the state apartment. It is possible to see old, not plastic windows is one of signs the state apartment.
In own house \on a ground \there are no restrictions on installation dish, only do not disturb to the neighbour.

coloured pony · 18-03-2009

Walentin, sounds Welsh?, thanks for the info, as you say dont anoy the neighbours, and yes others may be envious, as we say here "The Green Eyed monster" which is a another way of saying jealous.

By the way, your English is excellent.

I read your Council Notice, and all I can say is what a politicaly correct, legalistic country you live in. Feel sorry for you, sounds more like a dictatorship you're living in.
Why not play their game? and hire a lawyer, and set a precedence in the courts. If that fails, consider moving or migrating to where you can put up a dish or dishes.
I have many dishes instsalled here and aerials erected on a 770mtr block. Never applied for any permits, I've never taken notice of council notices.
Sounds to me like you should stick up for yourself and assert some influence, go and knock on your neighbours doors and get a pettition going, see if there are really any objections from them, if not take the council on.

Cheers

The unfortunate thing is, hiring a lawyer will get no where,it is the
Council Official who should see common sense, but few now do.
One thing, all Countries think different as do County Councils in
England and Wales, the planning law states max one meter dish
in Eng/Wales etc, but its like painting your house pink in Llandudno
and get fined, ten miles down the road in Colwyn Bay its OK.
Trouble is we have these Sky sneeks who get paid for convictions
and this crowd will also report oversize dishes,as will those who live with the green eyed monster. Any how if I ever get a notice, I have the right to see who complained,any complaint must be in writing once the
notice is served, this is to stop vexacious complaints .

down the road to him in Cardiff.

Oh, it's very old antenna. It was very popular here on 90's. It's called "Harchenko" (because of the author)... It's working on metre range (TV channels from 1 - 12). Only few channels are broadcasting on this range right now here on Latvia (the closest one is transmitter on Cesvaine broadcasting LTV1 (Latvian national television's 1st channel))...

What is meter range TV, local transmitter? can not say I have heard of meter range tv.

Bob

**bite** · 20-05-2009

Well, metre range is from 1 - 12 channel, but decimeter range from 13 - 69th channel...
I'm talking about analog television...
