Loughton is one of the most popular residential areas in the south-west of Milton Keynes — a well-established grid square with a strong community feel and a broad mix of family homes. We have completed multiple extension projects in Loughton and know exactly what works here.

Loughton sits between Great Holm and Shenley Brook End in the south-west of Milton Keynes and was developed primarily in the 1970s and 1980s as part of the original Development Corporation plan. The area includes terraced houses semi-detached homes and larger detached properties — each with their own opportunities for extending. The clay-heavy subsoil common across this part of MK is something we factor in from the outset — foundation specifications are confirmed before any price is put on paper.

Most rear and side extensions in Loughton fall within Permitted Development with no planning application required. Corner plots and properties that have already been extended may have reduced permitted development rights — we confirm your exact position at the initial site visit before any design work begins.
