Why? Are you planning on grassing them?
No but if there's an objection to one then there should be an objection to all or no objection to either.
I'm a Costcutter fan - they try really hard with their prices, just like the shop on Lyham Rd.

Nisa has theirs at the back of the building, out of sight from the main road.

Is Costcutter side of Brixton Hill classed as Rush Common then?
No, but it comes under either the same or some other similar conservation type act. No, I ain't going to grass.(I want to put a suitable wink here but I'm doing it on my phone and don't know how).

That's my point too. Also, however much I'm excited by the concept of satellites n stuff, I do think there should be some limits to where the dishes can be placed.

So how far up the Hill does that extend and what properties ARE allowed a satellite dish on the front?

Have a look here, you've got to zoom in a bit to get the boundary to show itself.

It's interesting as, on the opposing side to costcutter any building butting onto the road was forbidden. You could, however, get around this if you built onto an already existing structure. This is how the little row of shops got built between Brixton Water Lane & Arodene Road. Behind them and tragically surrounded on all sides is what is claimed to be one of, if not the oldest building in Brixton. I don't think you can see it from the road but if you're high up on the other side of the road you can see it over the top of the shops.
This is also quite interesting.

You can also see its pan-tiled roof from Josephine Avenue - one door up from the Indian Takeaway IIRC.

Yeah, I know about that. OK, another question, how far do the properties on that side of Brixton Hill (Costcutter) have to be back from the road to be able to have a satellite dish on the front?

As far as I'm aware, it's something like one or two buildings in are included in the act. For example, the place that John (Costcutter) has just built behind his shop IS included. However, on my street there are no dishes at all so maybe there is some kind of other ruling that stops it. Why the questions? Have you got one? Or are YOU gonna grass on someone? eh?
By the way, all this is picked up by me being a nosey fucker over the past few years, stuff may have changed and my info may not be reliable.
eta, just realised that I've not given any info, just a couple o maybes.

Just wondering
So is a certain pub on Brixton Hill allowed to have a dish outside on the front?

any idea what's being built next to the telegraph? looks like a new bar, lots of big windows. for some reason, it looks like it could be a tapas bar to me, but could be anything.

Interesting. Funny that the website says it was established in 2007, but it hasn't even opened yet.
I wonder when any of the retails lots a little further up the hill will be filled...be nice to get some new shops.

Well the chemist has been there for ages and she did tell me when they first moved in that there might be a foodie place (selling veg etc.) opening I think, but it doesn't look like that's happening at all.

I quite like what they've done with the walls outside and it looks like the Telegraph is shut for a refurb..

they've spent ageeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees on that wall haven't they.
I like the way The Telegraph's done it's seating. Have a look next time you pass - there's raised parts etc. Looks good
I had a cigarette with Reg Hollis at the Elf Petrol station many many years ago
Its a wonder the pair of you did'nt go up in flames
