I think that you'll find that you cannot (generally) run a business from
your home (without planning permission from the LA, ie plumber, builder,
anything self-employed), but that there are no restrictions to "working
from
home" WRT being employed by someone else and doing their work for them
(ie.
office work, book-keeping, sewing garments etc.etc).

Set up a company based elsewhere, and then work from home. A plumber can be
based at his home, as his work is elsewhere.

Nice idea, but they are wise to that one. For example, it's no good
just establishing a limited company and using the accountant's address
as the registered office. They look for where trading is actually
happening. So for a lot of businesses, the only way round it would be
to have an industrial unit or office somewhere (which costs of
course), and then work from home "occasionally". It is easier for a
sole trader like a plumber, as you say. With respect to the LA, a
lot of the issue is the profile that you have. If you make a big
negative visual impact on the surroundings then people will notice.
