I want to build a 5m high tower in my garden to hold a 1m diameter
satellite dish.
snip

One has to ask why ?...

So that the dish can 'see' over the trees which surround my property.


Also, would you not need planning consent, 5 meters is quite tall after all.


Quite possibly. One advantage of the scaffoldling approach is that I could argue
that the structure is temporary, and if I could not get retrospective approval I
could if necessary sell the scaffolding. I live in an area where there is no
adequate terrestrial digital tv signal.
