If you reduce the boil volume to 8L with the same amount of extract, you will be advised to increase the hop quantities as hop utilisation is affected by boil gravity (higher gravity leads to less hop oil isomerisation).
IIRC, roughly speaking you'd need to increase the hops by 11/8th to achieve the same bitterness.
IDK whether Boddingtons is dry-hopped, but if so you don't need more dry hops as by then you'll be at full volume of the beer and dry hopping is about aroma and not bitterness.
