Home Extensions in Tattenhoe Milton Keynes

Tattenhoe is one of those areas where the question "what is possible" genuinely depends on which street you are on. The established 1990s detached and semi-detached housing that makes up the bulk of the estate has the generous plot depth typical of that era — good news for anyone considering a single storey rear extension with the kitchen-diner brief that comes up time and again across MK. Rear gardens here tend to give enough room to do the job properly rather than squeezing a compromise extension onto a tight footprint.

The newer pockets of development closer to the Oxley Park boundary bring a different style of property into the mix, with more contemporary detailing that calls for a slightly different approach to materials and finish. We treat these on their own terms rather than applying a one-size-fits-all specification across the whole area.

One detail worth knowing early: parts of Tattenhoe sit near or within land connected to the historic Tattenhoe Park conservation area. This does not affect every property, but where it does apply it changes the planning conversation considerably — external materials and design come under additional scrutiny that a standard Permitted Development extension elsewhere would not face.

Planning Permission in Tattenhoe

For the majority of properties in Tattenhoe, single storey rear and side extensions fall within Permitted Development. Detached houses can extend up to 4 metres to the rear; semi-detached properties up to 3 metres. Where a property sits near the conservation area boundary, we check this specifically at the initial site visit, free of charge, before any design work begins — it is the kind of detail that genuinely changes the project if missed early on.
