I depends whether the house is your own or not. If you live in a council
house, yes, normally you will have to get permission from the council. If
privately rented, the landlord.
If the house is your own you need to get sight of the deeds (ask your
mortgage lender if you still have outstanding mortgage to pay.) Some deeds
specifically exclude permission to keep poultry and/or pigeons, especially
newer houses without much ground.

I am lucky as I have an older house (30's) and my deeds state that I can
even keep pigs, as long as they are 75 yards from the road, which I could
comply with easily if I wanted pigs.
This is not to say that I am allowed to do "anything." I am forbidden from
being "a fellmonger, a manure merchant or a tallow candle maker by way of
business."
