Television Antennae and Satellite Dishes: Is Permission Required?

As the region prepares for the switchover to Digital Television you may need to replace your television aerial, or you may want to get a satellite dish.  The planning rules are different for Dartmoor because it is a National Park, specific rules also apply to Listed Buildings and special care needs to be taken in Conservation Areas.  The leaflet below offers advice on choosing a position for your satellite dish or TV aerial, and whether you may need permission.
