interpretation of an s i

Molloys Clondalkin

Hi guys I was hopng someone can help me interpret an s.i. as im having a little trouble.

the one in question is this
S.I. No. 600 of 2001.

the specific part is class 4

CLASS 4
(a) The erection of a wireless or
television antenna, other than a satellite
television signal receiving antenna, on the
roof of a house.
(b) The erection on or within the
curtilage of a house, of a dish type
antenna used for the receiving and
transmitting of signals from satellites.
The height of the antenna above the roof
of the house shall not exceed 6 metres.
1. Not more than one such antenna shall
be erected on, or within the curtilage of a
house.
2. The diameter of any such antenna shall
not exceed 1 metre.
3. No such antenna shall be erected on, or
forward of, the front wall of the house.
4. No such antenna shall be erected on
the front roof slope of the house or higher
than the highest part of the roof of the

house.

Am I right in understanding that once the antenna is inthe curtalige of the house and as long as its not 6 metres above roof height it is exempt?
also if the said antenna was dual purpose for both wireless and recieving sattelite signals would this also come under the exemption?

Sorry if this is bordering on advice its just trying to make sence of the rules of curtailage and what is permitted or where the definition for an antenna starts and dish stops.
If the antenna is capable of recieving signals without being of dish type is that ok? or does it have to be attached to the house.
Im very confused by this so any help is appretiated.
Cheers

What are you trying to install? You could always ask your local planning office if they consider it exempt.

Its an amatuer radio antenna on a pole at the back of the garden its only 1 metre over the house so Its not visible from the front.
I know the easy way around this is to just attach a dish but dont wat to antagonise the situation.
I wont know yet if its cnsidered exempt until the local authority comes out to inspect it, I sent them in detailed photos but I dont think they can use them to make a ruling.

Is it a H shaped one over a metre wide?

Molloys Clondalkin

no its 2 inches wide at its maximum width and vertical

nuac

assuming you have a normal site you can erect the aerial within the site. Should be no problem with the aerial you describe.
