That's so dumb, just beyond dumb for words. I can understand that they can be quite ugly, but couldn't they just require that the raincatchers be made more visually esthetic? (nice fence or plants around it). In my allottment garden that I rent from the municipality, rain barrels are also forbidden due to them being ugly and the gardens are located in one of the prettiest nature areas in town. We are allowed to bury them however, or shield them from view using natural materials. I have my 200L bright blue barrels in the ground (though a pain to scoop water out with the watering can), and one neighbor has vines growing over his IBC.
