a British use of ‘satellite alley’

In British English, the noun satellite alley designates a street in which many satellite dishes are attached to the front of the buildings. (The noun satellite dish designates a bowl-shaped antenna used to view satellite television.)

The earliest occurrences of the noun satellite alley that I have found are as follows, in chronological order:

PLANNERS MOVE TO CLEAN UP TV DISHES
By DAVID BELL

BIRMINGHAM planners acted today to stem the unrestricted spread of TV satellite dishes which are disfiguring streets throughout the city.
They want powers to ban the dishes being attached to the front of the buildings.
“Satellite alleys are springing up all over the city and there is a need for urgent action,” said committee chairman Coun Frank McLoughlin.
“Just one of these dishes fixed in the wrong place can mar the appearance of the most beautiful building.”
At the moment families have to apply for planning permission for their second satellite dish—but not their first.

Sky Television was launched five years ago today—and how it has grown!
From humble beginnings, more than 3.25 million people now subscribe to its sport, film, entertainment and news-led Multi Channel package.
More than a million homes a year are tuning in as viewers look for options to mainstream television.
The familiar dishes have sprung up in virtually every street, with some becoming “satellite alleys.”
