House Extension Planning Permission in
Bordon (Hampshire)
Bordon homeowners often assume an extension automatically needs planning permission, or automatically doesn’t – neither is reliably true. Our free desktop study checks your specific project against permitted development limits, the Prior Approval route, and Bordon’s local rules before you spend a penny on anything else.

Bordon’s planning authority, like every council, has to work within national permitted development rules, but local factors – conservation area status, Article 4 directions, existing extensions on the property – all affect what’s actually available to you here specifically.
A generic online guide can tell you the national rules, but it can’t tell you whether your specific Bordon property still has its permitted development rights intact, or whether a previous owner’s extension has already used up the allowance. That’s exactly what our desktop study establishes.
Every Bordon project gets a proper desktop study first, checking permitted development limits, Prior Approval eligibility, and any local restrictions specific to your property before we recommend anything.

How We Help in Bordon (Hampshire)
For Bordon properties, we start by working out the actual picture – existing extensions, conservation status, and exactly what your proposed extension would involve – before recommending anything.
Once that’s clear, your Bordon project gets exactly what it needs, whether that’s confirmation permitted development already covers it, a Prior Approval submission, or a full application prepared to what this specific council expects.
Once anything’s submitted for a Bordon project, we follow it through properly – staying in contact with the council and responding to queries as they arise.
The Honest Answer For Bordon Extensions
Assuming the wrong thing about your Bordon extension – permission needed when it isn’t, or not needed when it genuinely is – is a costly mistake. Our desktop study replaces assumption with an actual, specific answer for your property.
Every Bordon assessment is built around genuine accuracy, not assumption – because recommending an unnecessary application wastes your money just as much as missing one you actually needed.
Extension rules in Bordon genuinely can involve a mix – part of a project under permitted development, another element needing full permission. We untangle exactly which parts of your specific project fall where, rather than treating the whole thing as one blanket answer.

House Extension Planning Permission FAQs for Bordon
What are the permitted development limits for an extension in Bordon?
Limits vary by extension type and house style in Bordon, which is exactly why a proper assessment matters more than a generic rule of thumb – your desktop study confirms your specific allowance.
Is Prior Approval faster than planning permission in Bordon?
Prior Approval is a faster route (42 days rather than the usual 8 weeks) for larger single-storey rear extensions that exceed standard permitted development limits but stay within extended ones – your desktop study checks whether your Bordon project qualifies.
Are permitted development rights different in Bordon conservation areas?
Conservation area properties in Bordon generally have reduced permitted development rights, which is exactly the kind of local factor our desktop study checks before recommending a route.
Does a previous extension affect what I can do now in Bordon?
Possibly not – permitted development allowances are cumulative, so a previous owner’s extension in Bordon may have already used up some or all of what’s available to you now.
Is it common for Bordon projects to need a mix of routes?
It’s a genuinely common outcome for bigger Bordon projects – our desktop study breaks down each element rather than giving one blanket answer for the whole extension.
How much does the desktop study cost for a Bordon extension?
The desktop study itself is completely free for Bordon projects – it’s the first step before any decision about applications or fees, so there’s no cost to finding out where you stand.
