Size of dish - limit?

CuppaCocoa

My partner is just about to put her house up for sale. The neighbour next door (who's renting) has just erected a huge dish at the back of the house fairly low down. It looks like a Nasa space station. Are there guidelines regarding size? I'm sure the landlord wouldn't be too happy to see this yoke on his wall. He's already had complaints from the neighbour on the other side re. noise (they're Eastern European and like to party loudly in the garden). I suppose we could contact the landlord but want to know if there's any guidelines?

Foreign National's will need a larger dish than us in order to receive their own national channels, who's beam is fixed further away....under the irish law which is tricky to follow at times you dont need permission for dishes upto 1metre in size....when placed on the back of the house..

However any dishes put on the front of a house regardless of size needs planning permission but as of yet some councils have done anything to enforce this law...

Thanks, wish I could measure the darn thing, it's a monstrosity!

I remember my mother thinking a 90cm dish I had was a monstrosity when in reality it's not at all

Is this on their rented house or your partners house? Kinda confusing

4m is a huge dish. Is it over 12ft / 4m accross, or simply larger than the marginal sized Sky Minidish?

A low down dish at back of house?
That's nothing.

The noise is a separate issue and nothing to do with dishes or do you just want rid of renting East European Neighbours?

I know the noise is a seperate issue. Landlord has already been contacted about it. This is more to complain about!

If possible take a good photo from the end of your garden and we might be able to tell its size for you..

I hope they aren't partying hard when the house is being viewed or it may put off any potential buyers! :P

This thread isn't about a dish then. More a desperate attempt at upping the value of your house?

Last I heard a huge dish isn't enough to be evicted and as they are Eastern Europeans I bet they are only using a 1 meter dish max.

Don't be silly. A house is only worth what someone will pay for it. My point is if there were 2 similar houses in the same estate for the same price and 1 has this spaceship stuck on the wall complete with noisy neighbours - I know which one I'd choose! :P

Sincere apologies to everyone, point noted. I wasn't trying to be racist. Fair enough, sorry, I'll watch what I say from now on. I have had foreign girlfriends who were coloured so I know for certain that I am not a racist and I have an Asian girlfriend now.

To answer the OPs question, the limit, in South Dublin at least, is 1 metre in diameter.

I'm (reluctantly) closing this thread due to the way it has progressed.
