Milton Keynes is mostly 1970s onwards, with estates laid out between grid roads and plenty of low-pitched or flat roofs. Wolverton and Bletchley are older, with Victorian railway terraces, while Broughton and Whitehouse are recent new builds. Aylesbury has post-war estates and large new areas at Berryfields and Kingsbrook. High Wycombe’s terraces climb steep valley sides, so shading and roof direction vary within one street. Amersham, Chesham and Beaconsfield have 1930s semis and larger detached homes, many with drives and electric cars.
Planning goes through Buckinghamshire Council or Milton Keynes City Council. The Chilterns National Landscape covers much of the south of the county, and old centres such as Marlow, Amersham Old Town and Olney are conservation areas. The network is split between SSEN across much of the west and UK Power Networks in parts of the south. We confirm yours at the survey. Milton Keynes sits on the northern edge of the area we cover. Buckinghamshire is more than 90 minutes from Ferndown, so the first survey is usually a video call.
