Home Extensions in Netherfield Milton Keynes

Netherfield has a reputation in Milton Keynes — not always a flattering one — but the housing stock tells a more interesting story than the reputation suggests. The Development Corporation built it in the late 1970s with a genuinely ambitious design brief: low-rise terraces grouped around shared green spaces with a pedestrian network that keeps cars to the edges. It did not quite land the way the architects intended but the result is a neighbourhood with genuine character and homes that respond well to thoughtful rear extensions.

The terraced properties that make up the majority of Netherfield have reasonable rear plot depth and consistent widths. Most extend to 3 metres at the rear under Permitted Development without any planning application. The distinctive architecture means extension design requires more care than on a standard suburban street — materials and roof lines need to sit comfortably alongside the existing structure rather than fighting against it. We discuss this at the initial site visit and address it at design stage rather than on site.
