Worthing home-extension enquiries

A useful Worthing extension enquiry explains the current design stage and what information already exists instead of treating every project as ready to build. For a Worthing extension, include boundary distances, access for deliveries and how the household will use the property during construction. Excavation, structure, roofing, windows, services and internal finishes interact, making sequencing and responsibility important before work begins.

Property scenario

Keeping access and household use workable during construction

For a Worthing extension, include boundary distances, access for deliveries and how the household will use the property during construction. Excavation, structure, roofing, windows, services and internal finishes interact, making sequencing and responsibility important before work begins. For Worthing property work, explain which rooms or outside areas are affected and whether the property will remain occupied during the job.

Local context

What can change a Worthing extension project

For a Worthing extension, include boundary distances, access for deliveries and how the household will use the property during construction. Include gate widths, parking distance, stairs and internal carrying routes where materials, waste or equipment cannot be placed beside the work area. Excavation, structure, roofing, windows, services and internal finishes interact, making sequencing and responsibility important before work begins. That reduces the risk of treating an extension as one undifferentiated building task with hidden assumptions.

Work Cedar can review

Home-extension enquiries Cedar can review

An extension enquiry is most useful when the proposed footprint, storeys, intended rooms, drawings, approvals, structure, drainage, services and access are separated into a clear project brief.

  • Single-storey and suitable multi-storey extension enquiries where the intended layout and project stage are clear
  • Rear, side and wrap-around extension projects where boundaries and access can be reviewed
  • Kitchen or living-space extensions coordinated with structural, roofing and internal finishing work
  • Shell, first-fix or broader managed extension scopes where responsibilities are defined
  • Making-good and external works directly connected with an accepted extension project
Before you submit

Information that helps Cedar review the job

  • Existing and proposed plans, dimensions or sketches if available
  • Whether planning, permitted-development, building-control or structural information already exists
  • Photos of the proposed footprint, house junction, boundaries and access route
  • Intended rooms and key service changes such as kitchen, utility, heating, drainage or electrical work
  • Whether the property must remain occupied and which routes or facilities need to stay usable
Planning the scope

Service-specific note

Useful safety and scope information

A service page cannot determine whether a particular extension has planning permission, permitted-development rights, party-wall implications or Building Regulations requirements. Those points depend on the actual property and proposal and must be checked before work that relies on them proceeds.

Cedar enquiry process

What happens after you send the enquiry

A real person at Cedar & Stone reviews the property, location, scope and timing. Sending the form does not book the work or guarantee acceptance.

If Cedar accepts the work, Cedar handles or manages the accepted Cedar job. If Cedar declines it, an optional onward-referral service is only used where you separately chose it during your enquiry; choosing that option does not itself transfer the enquiry before Cedar records a decline.

Useful questions

Questions before you enquire

Do I need drawings before asking Cedar about an extension?

Not necessarily, but existing drawings, dimensions, planning information or structural notes make the scope much clearer. Cedar can review the project stage you actually have.

Does every extension need planning permission?

No single answer applies to every property. The proposal and property constraints must be checked individually rather than assumed from a location page.

Do I need planning permission for an extension in Worthing?

There is no single town-wide answer; requirements depend on the actual property and proposal and must be checked individually. For a Worthing extension, include boundary distances, access for deliveries and how the household will use the property during construction.
