Home Extensions in Kents Hill Milton Keynes

Kents Hill gets described as a quiet area — and it is — but the housing stock here is more varied than that description suggests. Late 1990s executive detached homes sit alongside smaller semi-detached properties on the same streets. The plot sizes that come with the larger detached homes are genuinely generous and we have seen some ambitious extension briefs come out of this part of east Milton Keynes as a result.

The area sits between Monkston and Wavendon Gate and was developed primarily in the late 1990s and early 2000s. One consideration specific to Kents Hill is that some properties were built with permitted development rights removed by planning condition — more common on newer estates than on older housing stock. We check this at the initial site visit before any design work or cost is discussed. Most single storey rear and side extensions that do fall within Permitted Development can proceed without any planning application at all.

Planning in Kents Hill

Kents Hill was developed through the 1980s and 90s and most homes keep their Permitted Development rights: 4 metres to the rear for detached houses, 3 metres for semis. Some of the later phases had those rights removed in the original consent, so we check the planning history for your address before design starts rather than assuming. Our planning permission guide explains the national rules.

Bathrooms and Kitchens Nearby

Much of our recent work on this side of MK has been interior: a master bathroom, an en-suite and a guest bathroom in Monkston Park, all on the same generation of housing you find in Kents Hill. If your project is a new kitchen or bathroom rather than an extension, our article on what a complete bathroom installation should include is a useful checklist.
