Your property deeds set the rules for your freehold, in which there are probably some conditions about what you can and can't do on YOUR land (e.g. you can't park caravans). NOTHING else can put conditions on your use of your land. The deeds may also say something about the communal areas, e.g. that you have an easement over them to access your property, and maybe a clause giving the management company certain rights over how to control ONLY the communal areas.
The crux is what exactly do those deeds say?0
