Installation of a satellite dish

Information required in addition to the completed planning application forms and application fee:

1. Two copies of all drawings and any other documents and an electronic copy of all drawings and documents. Read the Guidance Note on the electronic submission of planning drawings and supporting documents.
2. Site location plan at a scale of 1:500 or 1:1250 scale showing the site and its surroundings. The site boundary must be clearly marked by bold black or red outline or hatching.
3. Block plan if appropriate to show the location of the works on the building.
4. Existing and proposed plans, elevations and sections showing where changes are proposed. All drawings should be at a scale large enough to clearly show the proposed works (eg 1:10, 1:20, 1:50 or 1:100).
5. Specifications for the dish, stand, support and fixings, including finishes.
6. If equipment is proposed at roof level within a Designated View as set out in the London Plan London View Management Framework Supplementary Planning Guidance or within the St Paul's Heights Policy Area, the existing and proposed spot heights (AOD) should be shown on the drawings. Where the development has an impact on a Designated View as set out in the London Plan London View Management Framework Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG), evidence will be needed demonstrating the impact of the proposal using the methods set out in the SPG. The methods to be used are Qualitative Visual Assessment and Geometric Definition.
7. Additional information to support the application, such as a covering letter and photographs.

Drawings should include:

• Existing and proposed roof plans. These should show spot heights and existing roof features, including roof pitches, chimney stacks and other dishes.
• Existing and proposed elevations and sections indicating the proposed equipment in relation to adjacent structures and/or detailed photographs clearly marked to indicate the positioning and appearance of the proposed dish or dishes.
• Large scale details of the proposed dish and any associated fixings.
• Any associated works, including enclosures, screening and guardrails.
• Proposed materials and finishes.

Please note that:

• All drawings must be numbered.
• All drawings must be dimensioned and drawn to an accurate metric scale.
• Each drawing must be labelled to indicate what is show.
• Drawings must show the surrounding context and adjoining buildings and include orientation points such as street names and north points.
• When highlighting features and areas please use tone, varied line thickness or bold primary colours as drawings are normally only scanned in black and white.
• All drawings must be annotated to show the proposed changes, materials and finishes.
