Bordon's Changing Housing Landscape

Bordon's housing stock reflects its military history. Much of the town was built to serve the garrison at Louisburg Barracks, and the older residential areas contain a mix of ex-MOD housing, 1960s and 1970s council-built homes, and some more recent private development. The regeneration of the former base, including the Louisburg Quarter development, is bringing new housing to the area, but the existing stock remains the focus of the majority of our work.

East Hampshire District Council's planning policies apply across Bordon, and the proximity of the South Downs National Park to the south and east of the town is a relevant consideration for some properties on the edges of the settlement. Properties within the National Park boundary are subject to the South Downs National Park Authority's planning policies, which are separate to East Hampshire District Council.

Extensions in Bordon

Bordon's existing housing stock lends itself well to extension. The ex-MOD and council-era properties from the 1960s and 1970s typically sit on generous plots with space to the rear, and many have not previously been extended. A rear extension to create a larger kitchen or living space, or a side extension to add a utility room and cloakroom, can make a significant difference to how these homes function.

Permitted Development thresholds apply to most extensions in Bordon, though properties that fall within or adjacent to the South Downs National Park boundary may have more restrictive rights. We recommend confirming the situation with East Hampshire District Council before proceeding, and we are happy to make this check on your behalf.

Loft Conversions in Bordon

Many of Bordon's semi-detached and detached homes have roof pitches that are suitable for dormer loft conversions. Adding a bedroom and bathroom in the loft is a cost-effective way to make a Bordon home more suitable for a growing family without the upheaval of moving. We manage the full conversion process including building regulations approval from East Hampshire District Council.

Renovations and Refurbishments in Bordon

With a significant volume of ex-MOD housing in the town, there is regular demand for renovation work that brings older properties up to a modern standard. We carry out full property renovations that include insulation upgrades, new windows and doors, complete kitchen and bathroom refits, rewiring, and central heating system replacements. Ben Evans handles all Gas Safe registered work including boiler replacements.

We also work for landlords and investors in Bordon who are managing rental properties within the town and want to keep them well maintained and compliant with current legislation, including EPC requirements.
