I think you're right, but the booklet from the government website ("A householder's planning guide for the installation of antennas, including satellite dishes") seems to include TV aerials.
However, I've now found a planning officer at the local council who seems willing to give an opinion, and he basically said to ignore the regulations, as they would never prosecute anyone over a TV aerial..!
Thanks for all your help.

That would have been a good solution, but he didn't suggest it, and I didn't have the knowledge to think of it.
Thanks!

I've recently had an aerial fitted (£180) on a single story extension behind the house, and my neighbour has complained that it spoils their view. We also have an aerial on the main house, and the house is in a conservation area.
They have contacted the local council planners, who have given them guidance. They say the aerial should have a maximum dimension of 60cm and should not extend above the ridge line of the building.
I asked the aerial fitter to come back and have a look, and he said he can't get an aerial that small (and if he could, it wouldn't give a very good signal), and that every aerial he has fitted for the last ten years must be illegal, and every aerial on surrounding houses must be illegal, so he refuses to do anything. I can see his point.
I called the council planning department, who say it's my problem...
Has anyone met this situation before? Can anyone offer any advice?
