Satellite Dishes

Conservation Areas

In designated areas such as a Conservation Area, the installation of a satellite dish/antenna may require planning permission.

For more information please see 'A Householder's Planning Guide for the Installation of Antennas, including Satellite Dishes'  (available at www.communities.gov.uk to view on-line, download or order free of charge). You can also contact planning services on 01843 577150 or planning.services@thanet.gov.uk for further advice.

Listed Buildings

If your property is a Listed Building you will always require Listed Building Consent from the Council to install a dish. To find out whether your property is listed, you can contact us on 01843 577141 or Conservation-&-Listed-Buildings@thanet.gov.uk.

When considering any application for satellite dishes/antenna the Council will look at whether the dish/antenna has been sited so as to minimise the effect on the appearance of the building and more generally whether the dish/antenna will have an acceptable impact on the character and appearance of the conservation area and/or listed building.
