can you keep chickens in your garden?

[OllieMartin]

So if you do have a 'no poultry' clause, or a 'you cannot work from home' clause in your deeds, both of which we can overrule with the aforementioned laws; will this make the entire deed nul and void, or can you just ignore that clause?

Just ignore the clauses which have been superseded by more recent legislation.

The 'no business' one is about the potential for nuisance if you have customers arriving and blocking the access neighbours have the right to expect to their own property, or making things which require the use of noisy machinery, or similar problems. There are businesses which do not have such potential (and most of your neighbours wouldn't even know such a business existed), but the covenant is intended to prevent those which DO cause problems for neighbours.
Some gardens are simply too small for chicken keeping to be viable (ours is), otherwise, go for it!

Councils are desperate to be seen to be green these days,so there should be no problem,and,if there is ,they would hate to be seen to be stopping people living and eating properly,good luck with it all.
