Wavendon Gate sits on the eastern edge of Milton Keynes — a residential area developed in the late 1980s and early 1990s as part of the later phases of the new city. We have been working in Wavendon Gate and across the eastern MK postcode area for over 20 years.

The detached and semi-detached homes in Wavendon Gate sit on planned streets with rear gardens that give genuine scope for extension. Streets across the estate feature a consistent mix of property types — detached family homes with good rear depth and semi-detached properties where side and rear extensions work particularly well. Most single storey rear and side extensions here fall within Permitted Development with no planning application required.

Larger detached homes towards the eastern edge of the estate open up the conversation about double storey additions — projects that add significant floor area upstairs and tend to have a stronger effect on property value than single storey schemes alone.

Planning in Wavendon Gate

Wavendon Gate's 1990s and 2000s homes keep their Permitted Development rights in nearly every case: 4 metres to the rear for detached houses, 3 metres for semis, side extensions up to half the original width. The luxury rear extension we built here went ahead on that basis. We confirm your own position at the first visit; our Wavendon Gate article and planning guide have more.

What the Wavendon Gate Project Shows

That extension is a good example of the open-plan kitchen and living space most families on the estate are after: a wide rear addition with large glazed doors, a fitted kitchen designed into the build, and a finish that matches the original house. The rear extensions page explains how we approach projects like it.

Price and Next Step

One fixed written price after a site visit, and typically six to eight weeks on site for a single storey extension. Contact us to arrange a free visit.
