Just tried with the 1.2M Laminas and there's nothing here. How far south?? Probably Spain. Was there something on that T/P you were interested in getting as e.g. Medi1 is on another more easily obtainable T/P.

In the south of the UK you are looking at something around 2.4m.

And a good one - not a flimsy 99 quid Fortec job that has the structural integrity of damp tissue paper....
sure with 2.4m you have a good chance, but doubt i can install one in london center .. I think i will be in the news :D I think maximum allowed is 1.2m in terrace

We've had Members in London with 2.4m, before their neighbours shopped them.

You can only have up to 1m without Planning Permission.

But what the eye doesn't see .................................

they always do. so no point of buying one when we know that people from the council will be knocking our door in a couple of months
and there is no way we will get planning permission for such a monster (2.4m)
even hidden in the back garden, you will get complaints from neighbors that they can still able to see it from their bedroom at first floor
