As I understand it although by-laws are subordinate to statutory Acts, local authorities have legislative power within their competence - ie if they own the land they have the right to restrict its use just as a private owner would eg some local authority housing restricts keeping animsls.  Having said that they are obligated to make available to the public view any by-laws and people have the right to request seeing them at Council town halls.
Compie should take the matter to her local Councillor if they refuse.

The NSALG state that:

This means that hens – domestic chickens and/ or rabbits - can be kept and housed on an allotment plot as of right.

‘As of right’, in this context, means that the consent of the appropriate
municipal authority is not required, and need not be sought. That said, NSALG thinks it a matter of courtesy, where a plot holder intends to keep hens and/or rabbits, that the following be observed : the plot holder should:

(i) inform the authority of the intention to keep creatures;
(ii) state the number of creatures it is intended to keep ; and
(iii) furnish a telephone number in case of any problem with creatures kept.

The law is very clear and when prohibiting bye laws are contested by an allotment holder the council loses.
