My first house was a new build and had at least 2 conditions written 
into the deeds.

a) I couldn't erect a permanent wall or fence at the front, to
   preserve the open plan aspect of the road.

b) I couldn't run a business from the house.

a) was a problem for one neighbour who was worried about his small 
children running out onto the street, so he erected a "temporary" fence; 
the rest of understood his concerns and kept our mouths shut

b) had me slightly concerned so I asked for advice and was told that  
this was intended to prevent someone starting a car repair business or 
the like, or have streams of customers visiting.  A desk and filing 
cabinet should not cause any problem, but installing a noisy computer 
and air conditioning might (this was in 1979).
