I had this, apparently i can have pigs and cows on my land but not chickens. No idea why.

Bizarre...

Mine said I wasn't permitted to build any structure on 50% of the land & that it had to be used as a garden.

While the neighbour seemed reasonable in that structure == building development, somebody else could have moved in and decided that structure == pond, wall, pergola, whatever.... So I walked.

Garden structures are using it as a garden.

Chickens use to be expensive to keep and buy right up until the 60s, so they probably kept chickens and didn't want any competition.

I've been going through all this pain for the last year.

I've had to pull out of a purchase because I wasn't comfortable about some restrictive covenants on the land.

Not a mistake I'm going to make twice. In fact it has put me off buying anywhere new or anything from a developer (this was a renovation job) where, apparently, covenants are quite common.

For example, things that govern what you can/can't have on your drive which may put off people from buying the developers remaining properties. Or needing planning permission to put up a shed, as in my case.

I'm in the process of buying another place now & I'm getting all the assurances I can upfront that there are no legal nasties lurking....

Builders only care while they are selling the properties after that they don't give a tulip.

Unfortunately you end up with neighbours who are unhappy with vans with no names on them left on the road but councils don't act and builders don't care if all the properties have been sold.

I've heard they'll gladly amend any such covenants once they've sold all their properties. For a hefty fee....

OK, just wanted to check that you disagreed with yourself, that's all. No one needs to argue with you when you can argue with yourself.

Whatever.
