Bin stores in Towcester
Bin stores for Towcester's pavement-fronted old town, suburban streets and the Towcester South extension, on a level paved pad.
In Towcester, a single wheelie bin store fitted on a level paved base starts from about £1,000; two and three bin stores, and any new path to the kerb, are priced on the visit. The local consideration is the 1998 Article 4 direction on frontages to Watling Street, Moat Lane, Park Street and nearby streets, so we check your frontage first.

Bin stores in Towcester
Towcester is a Watling Street coaching town of ironstone, limestone and red brick, built right up to the pavement with yards behind. On the suburban streets, parking has taken over many front gardens, which squeezes the bins into whatever space is left beside the cars. To the south, the 2,750-home Towcester South extension brings a whole new set of households who each need somewhere tidy and practical to keep their bins.
We fit composite slatted bin stores with aluminium doors, for one, two or three bins, on a level paved pad with a level route to the kerb. Towcester is under West Northamptonshire Council, and Milton Keynes Driveways & Landscaping covers it along with Greens Norton, Paulerspury, Silverstone and Blisworth. We start with a free design visit to measure the bins and the space, and the guide prices here are fixed in writing afterwards.
What makes Towcester different
The Article 4 direction removes permitted development for front extensions and alterations, roof changes, porches, gates, fences and walls, and painting on the listed frontage streets, so anything that changes the front there is checked before design. In the old town most bins already live in the yards behind. The ground is a clay spur of Upper Lias in the centre, slow to drain, with better drainage on the limestone and Northampton Sand slopes, so the pad base depends on where you are.
On a suburban street where the front garden is now parking, a typical job is a two or three bin store at the side of the house, on a pad that does not eat into the parking space, with a short level route to the kerb. In the old town, it is usually a compact store in the rear yard.

Permissions and checks in Towcester
- 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. Towcester’s Article 4 direction covers frontages to Watling Street, Moat Lane, Park Street and nearby streets, so we check your frontage first. 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.”
