I think it must be safe to ignore, for the most part.
Or do and then get actively involved in the management company to see if you can change the relevant rule (not sure how feasible this is as it may involve varying the terms & conditions of existing lease agreements or covenants!).Bottom line is if you want a dish, don't buy in a development that doesn't allow them.
The Court of Justice itself stated in its decision against Belgian city regulations that the free provision of services prevents the application of a tax on satellite dishes, as such a tax is liable to dissuade residents seeking access to television broadcasts from other Member States.
The LA's have not got the resources to chase those with dishes on the front of houses. They ain't got the time for something that will yield very poor results.Would be good to see Local Authority enforcement as regards dishes installed on the front face of a dwelling as in this case, they do have a negative impact on the general aesthetics of the area.
You are quite correct.As regards management company enforcement, in a lot of cases can this policy not be traced back to the developer doing deals with the likes of NTL, magnet,etc.?

To the best of my knowledge if you live in an apartment you do not
own the exterior wall or the balcony, therefore the management company
is entitled to remove the dish.
I live in a detached house in an estate with a management company that
banns satellite dishes, I consulted my solicitor and he informed me the
ban in my case was not worth the paper it was written on as I had freehold
and the management company could not enter my property. This is the same
on all of the detached houses on the estate, none of the dishes have been removed
though the fact that all except a few houses have dishes may have something to do with it.
However the ban has been successfully implemented on the apartment block to the
rear of where I live.

Same in our place. Privately managed townhouse development. I'd say that c. 25% of the houses have dishes or antennae in breach of the rules. The management agent (at the behest of the management company) circularised householders reminding them of the rules and saying that steps would be taken to remove such installations. Nothing happened and I can't see them doing anything. At this stage I'm half considering ignoring the rule myself to erect a dish. I'd prefer to have this at the back anyway but getting a signal there is non trivial.I take it this must be the case where I live as well. Nearly everyone has a dish now.
