Satellite dishes
If you are a tenant in social housing and want to put up a satellite dish, you must first have written permission from your Housing Manager. Putting up a TV aerial or satellite dish counts as an alteration or addition to your home. You have the right to improve your home, as long as you get our written permission first.
We will only refuse permission if there are good reasons, for example, if the improvement will
- make your home less safe
- reduce your living space
- increase our maintenance costs
- break building or planning regulations
We will also need to make sure that you will carry out the work to a good standard. If you want to take an improvement with you when you leave, you must put back the original fixture and fitting and repair any damage caused by taking the improvement out.
If you want to put up a satellite dish, please contact CBHA for an application form.
Please note:
This information applies to tenants in social housing. If you are a keyworker or market rent tenant please check your tenancy agreement. If you are a homeowner please check your lease.
