Know the area
The houses and streets of Deanshanger.
Deanshanger is an old village around The Green and the High Street with stone and brick cottages, ringed by 1960s to 80s housing and by the estates built on the former oxide works site after 1999, which have small fronts, short block drives and shared parking. Fronts on the older streets are often gravel or concrete and long enough for a proper drive.
What suits these houses
The older village fronts are often gravel or concrete and long enough for a proper two-car block drive, brindle on the stone and brick cottages. On the newer estates built on the old works site, resin bound gives a permeable finish without the loose stone. Village plots often want the front boundary and gate done with the drive.

Local rules
Kerbs, councils and skips in Deanshanger.
The council, the drainage rule and where the skip goes. Terry checks all of it on the visit, so you know what to expect before you commit.
Dropped kerbs and the council
Although the postcode is MK19, Deanshanger is in Northamptonshire, so West Northamptonshire Council handles the dropped kerb: a licence and inspection fee, a paved parking area of at least 5m by 3m, and an approved contractor does the work. Terry handles the council application and arranges the kerb with the drive; the council approves the contractor and sets the fee. How dropped kerbs work.
Conservation area
Deanshanger has a conservation area around The Green and the old village centre, where changes to a frontage need consent and materials should match the cottages. It does not stop you having a new drive or patio; Terry checks what applies to your house before you choose a material.
Drainage and planning
Since 2008, new or replacement paving over five square metres in a front garden in England needs planning permission unless it is permeable (permeable block paving, resin bound on a permeable base, porous asphalt, gravel) or the rain runs off to a lawn or border to soak away on your own land. The paving, base and drainage are designed together for the site. Read the planning guide.
Parking and skips
The village streets are narrow around The Green, so we keep the skip on the drive where we can and arrange a permit if it must go on the road.

5.0★★★★★104 reviews“Just had my drive completed by Terry and the team at unique and really professional with great workmanship, I'm really pleased and couldn't recommend enough. Simon (Deanshanger)”
Simon Luckett, Google review, July 2026
Terry and the team did a fantastic job of cleaning and sealing our block paved drive and sandstone patio. His team were friendly and professional, pricing was very competitive and we are extremely happy with the results. Would absolutely recommend if you are looking for a contractor for this type…
Absolute 10/10 job. Organising job was so easy. Patio extenstion was at the best price we found. Job completed in a few hours to perfection and left spotlessly clean. Couldnt of ask for anything more. Now we can enjoy our garden this summer!
We were not disappointed, Terry and his team did an excellent job, they were reliable, punctual and hardworking and more than happy to provide guidance as to the best way to proceed, so that we achieved an excellent result. We are very satisfied with the works and would most definitely use Terry…
Questions people in Deanshanger ask Terry.
Is Deanshanger in Milton Keynes for council purposes?
No. The postcode is MK19 but the village is in West Northamptonshire, so dropped kerbs, skip permits and planning go to that council, not Milton Keynes. Terry checks your address and tells you which applies.
Do you need planning permission for a drive on The Green?
A permeable drive, or one that drains to a lawn or border, usually needs no planning permission, but The Green is in the conservation area, where rules can be stricter and walls, gates and materials at the front should match the village. It is worth a quick check with the council first.
Which driveway suits a house in Deanshanger?
The older village fronts are often gravel or concrete and long enough for a proper two-car block drive, brindle on the stone and brick cottages. On the newer estates built on the old works site, resin bound gives a permeable finish without the loose stone.
Where do the van and skip go on a job in Deanshanger?
The village streets are narrow around The Green, so we keep the skip on the drive where we can and arrange a permit if it must go on the road.
