    Thought I would come back and just give some more information. 
    In terms of what's in my rent agreement I will need to check this and see if there is anything mentioned, I'm assuming that if nothing is mentioned I would need to speak to the housing association?
    Yes, speak to the HA. They should not unreasonably refuse permission, but they are very picky about anything which might disturb neighbours - you say you won't, so that's good.

    I recently setup my new business and when I went to renew my home insurance I was asked if it was used for business use. I vaguely remember clicking business clerical (my address is listed against my LTD company but I do not get any business visitors as it is totally online). Seems that was sufficient and I was comfortable that this was the necessary tick box to be covered should the worst happen.
