I've got a 'no satellite dishes' and 'no washing lines'.
Breached, breached! They probably are enforceable, but how much so would depend on the person that the covenant is with.

Hi
On my freehold house, there are restrictive covenants on building an extension - requires approval from the mgmt company of the estate (40 years old) and there are certain restrictions in terms of height etc.
As they are slow to respond, I am going ahead anyway, but what is the worst that can happen? Council is fine, so could I land myself in trouble? Has anyone got similar experiences?
Thanks0 -
We had a restrictive coventant on our new house many years ago in that the colour of the front door must stay the same... everyone ignored it and nothing happended!0

The majority of covenants are never enforced but they could be.
