Home Extensions in Fishermead Milton Keynes

Fishermead sits between Oldbrook and Springfield in the centre of Milton Keynes and was developed as part of the original Development Corporation plan in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The area features a mix of terraced semi-detached and some detached homes — a housing stock that is increasingly popular with families who value the central location and want to extend rather than move further out.

The terraced and semi-detached homes that make up much of Fishermead are well suited to single storey rear extensions that open up the ground floor living space. The typical ground floor layout of a Fishermead terrace — a narrow kitchen at the rear separated from the living space — is exactly the kind of arrangement that a rear extension transforms most effectively. Most properties here extend to 3 metres under Permitted Development without any planning application at all.

Fishermead borders Oldbrook — an area where we have completed three extension projects including an above-garage extension that added significant first floor space without touching the garden. That local experience carries directly across to Fishermead. We know the ground conditions the plot sizes and the planning picture before we arrive at your door.

Terraced and semi-detached properties can extend up to 3 metres to the rear without a planning application. Side extensions are limited to half the width of the original house. Some properties in Fishermead may have had permitted development rights affected by previous extensions — we check all of this at the initial site visit.
