People are focusing on the house in the middle, but if you look at he whole picture, it isn't that one house. It's every single house on both streets. It's not just this specific owner. If this were the US, I'd suspect a HOA at work.

I believe the Brits call their HOAs "councils"

Not sure if joking, but councils are in charge of the municipal borough - usually a big town/city and the area around it.

Some people rent their houses from the council - council houses. This tends to mainly be people on low income, as the rates are low.

Because these are rented, the council can make sure you are not doing anything to harm the value of the house. When the houses need maintenance (new windows, new roofs), the council will perform it at no cost to the tenants - usually an entire estate at once, which is why they look alike.

Obviously the council has no say over houses it doesn't own. Unless you are breaking the law in some way (e.g. causing a health concern), you're allowed to do what you want.

Ah. That makes sense. I'd always heard Brits complaining about "the council" in regards to houses/property so I thought it was similar to an HOA.
