Which Bedford postcodes do you cover, and is Bedford Borough always the council?

We take enquiries across Bedford from our base at Arquen House in St Albans, and confirm coverage for your exact postcode when you get in touch. Postcode lookups show MK40 and MK41 fall only within Bedford Borough, but MK42 also reaches into Central Bedfordshire, MK43 into Central Bedfordshire and Milton Keynes, MK44 into Central Bedfordshire and Huntingdonshire, and MK45 spans Bedford and Central Bedfordshire. The national permitted development limits are the same across England; what changes locally is which conservation areas and Article 4 directions apply, because those belong to the council your home sits in. Tell us your full postcode and we will confirm which authority decides.
