Bin stores in Olney
Olney is a limestone market town, with a long conservation area running through the centre, newer estates around the edge and more homes allocated in the neighbourhood plan. In the centre, stone frontages and tight plots leave little room for bins at the front, so they tend to live in yards and passages. On the estates there is more space, but the bins still sit in full view beside the drive.
We fit composite slatted bin stores with aluminium doors, for one, two or three bins, on a level paved pad with lids that open fully and a level route to the kerb. Milton Keynes Driveways & Landscaping covers Olney along with Emberton, Lavendon, Weston Underwood and Sherington, and starts with a free design visit to measure your bins. Prices here are guides; the fixed price comes in writing after that visit.
What makes Olney different
Olney's conservation area has an Article 4 direction for houses that removes permitted development for extensions, alterations, porches and painting outside walls. Outbuildings, front hard surfaces and boundary walls are not on that list, but listed buildings still have tighter rules, so we check the address first. The ground is Great Oolite limestone, which generally drains better than Milton Keynes clay, though clay bands and the Ouse flood plain change that locally, so we look at the pad position before setting the base.
In the centre, the usual job is a single or two bin store in a rear yard or passage behind a stone house, on a small level pad. On the newer estates, it is more often a three bin store beside the drive, with the pad and a short path linking it to the pavement.

Permissions and checks in Olney
- Step 1A bin store at the side or back of the house is normally permitted development. In front of the house, a free-standing store technically falls outside householder permitted development, so we check with the council before building one there. Listed buildings and conservation areas in Olney have tighter rules, so we check your address before anything is designed. Planning Portal: outbuildings
- Step 2We check the ground and the planning position at the free design visit and give you one fixed written price.

“Connor and the team recently completed our resin driveway in Bletchley. From going through the design with us and even making pictures so we could see how it looked, to the install and the aftercare, it has all been perfect. Thanks again.”

“Milton Keynes Driveways & Landscaping have just finished our full garden makeover in Milton Keynes. We had a porcelain patio, composite decking and raised sleeper beds. They arrived on time, kept my home clean and the garden looks terrific. They are coming back to do our block paved driveway soon.”
