Default Re: Household aerial length limitation

"Normal domestic TV and radio aerials do not need planning permission".
I had a read and..."there will be no more than four antennas on the building overall", is a semi one building? Both of my "real" (i.e. not telly, DAB of FM) aerials are not on the house but down the garden.

Back to the 100 foot argument, these rules say "the size of any antenna is not more than 130 centimetres (an awful unit) in any linear dimension" well short (pun intended) of 100 feet! And a bit less than a good VHF/FM beam. If there is still a 100' limit anything over 1.3m would need planning permission.

I just put up what I like and hope, it has worked so far. Of course I make them as invisible as possible (camo paint etc.) to placate the missus and not annoy the neighbours. In the USA there are vigorously policed rules about aerials, a lot of amateurs there use a flag pole (you can't be to patriotic).
