Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 19 May 2004
209 Mr. R. Bruton asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if he will introduce restrictions on the planning exemption enjoyed by satellite dishes for domestic houses; and his views on whether there should be a requirement for planning permission to erect them on the front of a house or in other situations. [14815/04]
View answerUnder the Planning and Development Regulations 2001 the erection of satellite dishes on or within the curtilage of a house is exempted from the requirement to receive planning permission and is subject to conditions. The conditions include that no such antenna shall be erected on, or forward of, the front wall of a house.
It is not proposed to amend the regulations at present.
