The Cavendish Hotel

Overview

ECE Planning working in conjunction with clients, Portcullis Homes, are excited to announce that planning consent has been secured for the conversion of the former Cavendish Hotel to 8 residential apartments.

The development is positioned along Worthing seafront, approximately 350 metres from the heart of Worthing Town Centre. Not only will this redevelopment provide much needed housing, but will also restore and refurbish the exterior of the building; ultimately revitalising the surrounding area but ensuring to preserve the architectural quality of the heritage asset.

As Planning Consultants, ECE Planning also worked very closely with Domain Architects Ltd to ensure this full application proposal was dealt with efficiently and professionally.

Client Testimonial

Oliver Bardsley, Vistry Group

"The planning team were very proactive and were in constant contact with ourselves. They have been monitoring and chasing down all aspects of the project from conditions to getting responses from the case officer.

Rebecca Hoad has been highly praised by our Technical team for dealing with conditions, chasing them down and ensuring they are on top of all information submitted."

Simon Lewis, Development Director, St William Homes

"A fantastic result and team effort. However, there is no way we would have got our scheme permitted without ECE. You have been the game-changing ingredient!"

Rod Flavell, President, Saltdean United Football Club

"Working with ECE’s planning professionals has been a pleasure.

A process as complex as Saltdean United’s application to redevelop its facilities for our communities' future generations of adults and children to enjoy in an area of outstanding natural beauty was always going to take a sensitive touch to balance the needs of all the stakeholders.

We are delighted to say the ECE team dealt with the challenges with great patience, persistence and professionalism.

Its been a long but ultimately fruitful journey to this point and we are under no illusions that there are many more challenges to come as we move to the development phase but with ECE’s continued support we believe that the club will deliver a legacy for future generations to enjoy."

Matt Heath, Director Dawson Heath Property Ltd

“Once again an excellent service from the Planning team at ECE. Good value, great attitude to work, proactive and easy to get along with.”

Ben Cheal, Managing Director Roffey Homes Ltd

“ECE Planning have provided a friendly, yet highly professional service, displaying both their detailed planning knowledge and strategy on many occasions.

We have worked closely with ECE for a number of years and continue to build on an excellent working relationship with them based on true collaborative working and trust. ECE have undertaken feasibility work, planning advice, planning submission and working drawings for us on a number of projects and we have always found them to work to a high quality and professional in their approach. We will continue to enjoy working with them on future projects as our experience with them has always been very positive.”

Terry Brightmore, Terra Firma Designs

“Once again an excellent service from the team at ECE. They were able to interpret our design brief and work around the site constraints and were also able to increase the scale of the scheme from 16 to 24 units, increasing the value of the project and taking leadership of the planning process.”

John Longhorn, Planning Manager, Vistry Homes

"Working with both ECE Architecture and ECE Planning is a seamless and exceptionally well managed process.  Planning considerations are integrated fully with the design approach from the outset. Chris, Sam, and Nick have been excellent in managing the planning aspects of many schemes, always taking a proactive, pragmatic and responsive approach to delivering difficult projects in challenging timeframes."
