Overview
ECE are delighted to report that we have been granted planning permission at Committee for the extension of Colonnade House in Worthing. ECE Planning, together with ECE Architecture and Worthing Borough Council, engaged in over 2 hours of discussions at Planning Committee before the application was approved.

Colonnade House is the “creative pulse of Worthing” located in the heart of the town centre. It was built in the early 1800s, originally opening as a library and post office.
Fast forward to today and Colonnade House has been transformed into a workspace to support local artists and designers, hosting exhibitions, talks and workshops for the community to attend and connect with one another. The extension of Colonnade House will add value to the local economy by supporting small businesses and is set to become a lasting legacy for Worthing.
