Are there any regulations that would prevent me from keeping pigs? Yes. You may need planning permission, check with your local council. Some house  deeds say that you cannot keep pigs or poultry. If you have close neighbours it  is much better to talk to them before you get a pig than to fall out with them afterwards,  or even to have to get rid of the pig. Pigs can be very noisy at times.

What other regulations do I need to know? You need to register with your local branch of DEFRA, who will give you a holding  number. To move any pig from one premise to another you require a movement licence.
