found this on another website and wondered if anyone interested in signing it

i have for all the good it will do

Quote:

We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Abolish the
requirement of planning permission on large private satellite
dish installations

Satellite dishes that measure more than 100cm in diameter
require local council planning permission to use them on your
property. The current system of applying for planning
permission is ill suited to this subject and should be
abolished. This system is a waste of resources in local
planning offices, resources that could be put to better use on
other issues.

There is no law that is against huge trampolines being placed
in gardens!

I propose that satellite dishes under 180cm in diameter should
not require planning permission if they are ground mounted.
Ground mounted meaning, not attached to any wall of a building
and not mounted on a groundpole where the absolute top of the
dish is higher than 10 foot.

In addition the 100cm maximum size limited for wall mounted
installations should be increased to 120cm.

These proposals need not apply to installations in area's of
natural beauty or those on buildings that are grade listed.

The e-petition is a good idea in principle but flawed in its execution. Some idiot had put one up a couple of weeks ago that petitioned to stop Sky calling their ladder monkeys "engineers".

That sort of thing makes a mockery of the whole process and totally devalues it.

yeah i've signed it anyway

it seems stupid that we cant have anything over 1metre when other countries like spain, greece etc can have 4metre dishes on the roof of houses and no one is bothered
