The rumour mill

I've heard rumours that people with satellite dishes larger than 1.4m in diameter are being told to take them down. I was even told by one person that the little plane that is buzzing round day after day is photographing dish installations so that local town halls can pinpoint houses to target.

As far as I can discover, the rumour seems to concern people in Rojales but could of course apply to other areas as well.

One web forum advises, "if you are planning to install a large dish make sure it is located in an area that wont upset your neighbours". If you live in Bigastro, you can read the regulations concerning installations of aerials and masts here.

Installing a huge dish falls into the same category as extending the height of your walls or any other alteration that will affect the appearance of your property.

I've also been told that local councils are targeting houses that have wooden garden sheds but I can't find any information about this.
