That type of restriction is common on newish estates. The builders impose them  so that the first people who move in don't put up pigeon lofts, fill their gardens with noisy and smelly poultry or develop any other "unsavory" habits that will put off potential buyers of the rest of the houses.


By now the builders will have long sold off all their interest in the houses and it will be a matter of complete indifference to them what you keep. The current neighbours may be unaware of these original restrictions and in any case are unlikely to care sufficiently to take out a civil case against you to prevent you keeping a few pigeons.


I would not worry. Just get them and keep quiet. :fc: [size=78%] [/size]

However if your pigeons spend all their time scrabbling around on the neighbours rooves, crapping in their gutters and eating their growing veg they may well remember the restrictions exist.

I've always just risked it. As long as you don't let them become a nuisance that would give rise to a complaint under the same circumstances in any property, then you should be ok. I'm sure there are certain things you should do, like not position a loft or kit box within a metre of a boundary or whatever. Other than that, keep a pair of fan tails as droppers, who doesn't like to see doves in their garden.....?
