Satellite Systems.

You will know that I have been concerned about the plans to have a communal satellite dish per block and the mass removal of individual Sky and other satellite dishes.

I objected to the planning application for this on the basis that tenants will have individual contracts where relevant, or have gone to the expense of investing in Free to Air (FTA) or Freesat dishes on their properties.

That enforcing this change on tenants may place the tenant to become in breach and liable under their Sky contracts. Or the loss of the investment for other systems installed.

In my case. When I moved into the estate, several years ago, I invested in my own antenna on the roof to recieve freeview.

There is no need for the council to touch my antenna it is not part of the existing communal system. However they are insisting on proceeding.

I have asked them to compensate me for this loss. So far this point, after 2 years has still been ignored.

The last correspondence on the Satellite front was January of this year. It notes further thinking on the points raised but again the result of this process has not been forthcomming.

Legally, as the council have allowed through in action over several years. People to erect their own satellite systems. I believe they have no right to enforce any removal of existing systems and dishes.

Not everyone will want access to a communal Sky dish - will they have to pay a monthly fee for this anyway?

Those who use other satellite systems to access foreign language or FreeSat will need dishes on the roof to point to the various satellites are they going to be provided so that we have a roof of communal satellite dishes?
