We prove that if ZFC is consistent so is ZFC + ``for any sequence of subsets of a Polish space there exists a separable metrizable topology on with , and Borel in for all .'

A uniform argument is presented, which gives a new proof of the latter as well.

Some consequences of these extension properties are also studied.
