all we would need to do is walk the dog on the shared driveway, where it can pee and crap and bark

part of me is wanting to fight this, because i do think that their ruling breached my right for a private life, i'm afraid you think wrong -

but there is also part of me that is saying "just move on" if the management company are that up tight about pets, what is living there going to bring?

Btw: There is also a small private area of land drawn up on this property in case of emergencies, but the management company have chosen to ignore that fact in their reply.

Its a real shame because it is a beautiful property.

I do get the impression that the board of directors, all of whom are near or past retirement age are wanting to keep the estate as some kind of restrictive retirement complex. The problem with that attitude is that no young families are being given the opportunity to move into the area. There are lots of these kind of disputes in my specific area.

lol - not really, but I see your point and I did state that reliance on the HRA can be a bit of a minefield.

We live in a freehold house on a private estate so RCs and service charges etc. I have tried my best to reduce the charges even becoming a Director for a year but failed. Enough of RCs we are now moving.

I'd pull out, sounds like you'd soon be made to feel like a prisoner in your own home.
