Installing an antenna or satellite dish

What is it?

If you want to install an antenna or satellite dish, you may need an environmental permit from the municipality in some cases. Check whether this applies to you via Omgevingsloket .

How does it work?

You do not need to apply for an environmental permit if you meet the following conditions:

  • You place the antenna at the back of your house.
  • If you install an antenna at the front of your home, the antenna will remain behind the facade.
  • The satellite dish is a maximum of 3 meters high (measured from the base). And the diameter is a maximum of 2 meters.
  • Another antenna is a maximum of 5 meters high (measured from the base). If this antenna is attached to the facade, measure from the point where the antenna (with antenna mount) crosses the roof.

What should I do?

  • Check via the Omgevingsloket (Environment Desk) whether you need to apply for an environmental permit.
  • If you need a permit, you can submit your application online right away.

No permit, but rules

If you do not need a permit to install a (satellite) dish, you may still have to comply with other rules. These include rules for safe and healthy construction and rules in the environmental plan.

What do I need?

  • construction drawing
  • situation sketch
