Solihull’s Architecture
Solihull is a large market town in the West Midlands. It is thought that Solihull’s origins could be attributed to a convenient geographical location. Two important historical trade routes, between Birmingham and Warwick and Coventry and Worcester, would intersect in what would eventually become the modern Town we know today.
One notable building in Solihull is St Alphege Church. The church, which has undergone a number of restorations throughout the Centuries is a popular tourist attraction in the town. The church can be dated back to medieval times.
Solihull is a thriving town, and the council there have recently set out an exciting plan with their vision for the future. Plans looking ahead to 2036 include adaptations to suit modern work culture and design that champions sustainability and accessibility.

I honestly cannot praise Michelle enough. I have a listed building and was at my wits end trying to work out exactly what my local council required of me. In desperation I found Michelle on a Google search and she was absolutely marvellous. She took over everything, dealt with the replacement window company, the architect and the council and magically I had listed building consent within a very short space of time. I was told up front what the cost would be and there were no hidden extras. I will definitely be using Simple Planning Solutions again as I have more work which requires consent. Thank you Michelle you lifted a huge weight from my shoulders!
Very professional, informative, explained everything in a clear and understandable manner. Was timely and honest. Would definitely recommend. Great value for money x
Michelle offered me a good service. She will update you of the process
Anytime you call she will fine time for you. Good customer service.

A HUGE thank you to Michelle for pointing me in the right direction with the very difficult job of ‘planning permission’ for replacing my out dated Septic Tank. Not only was it six star advice, it was all done within 24 hours. THANK YOU again, regards, John.
Michelle is very helpful and responsive. I contacted her for some initial advice on a project and the advice was excellent. Thank you!
I had the pleasure of working with Michelle, who demonstrated exceptional expertise in her role. She proactively took the initiative and was instrumental in helping me secure planning permission. Great work—thank you, Michelle!
Michelle is excellent and I can't recommend Simple Planning Solution Ltd enough. Our application had a complex history and we were not expecting a positive result, however Michelle managed to achieve a quick, efficient and very positive outcome. Thanks so much. Happy to give a more detailed reference if needed
We were recommended Simple Planning Solutions by a friend, and choosing Michelle was the best decision we made. She handled our farm's change of use planning for dog kennels and dog fields on green belt land with such expertise. Michelle was fantastic—extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire planning process.
From site visits to quick responses, she was always there for us, even replying to the council on our behalf while on holiday! Her dedication and professionalism were truly impressive.
Top-notch service, highly recommended! We will definitely be using Michelle for all our future planning applications on other projects.
And the best part? Planning granted! 😁🙌

Michelle Hill made the entire process entirely seamless with exceptional customer service and friendly yet professional advice. Simple Planning Solutions gets a big 10 out of 10 for value for money and customer service. Michelle made me feel at ease throughout. Highly recommend.
Michelle Hill achieved the planning permission that was needed for Stables, was an absolute pleasure to work with and made the process straight forward
Michelle promptly visited us, was very knowledgeable and very thoroughly guided us. This was followed up with a suprisingly comprehensive report. Without hesitation reccomended.
The level of service provided by Michelle was exceptional, she went above and beyond every single day to ensure my application for change of usage was a success.
The complications implemented by the council caused alot of stress for me but Michelle overcame every obstacle.
Highly recommended and will always use in the future, thank you again!

Simple Planning..Simply Stunning!!
Excellent Service!! Michelle has been amazing. She is an experienced planning officer who is able to provide a wealth of knowledge and information. Thanks to her advice and her application support document, we have recently had our application approved which we are over the moon about. Michelle has helped at every stage and has worked with the surveyors, architect and most recently negotiated with the planning officer during the application to ensure approval. Her fees are very reasonable and she is so easy to talk to and deal with. Very few of us who are not in the industry have the knowledge to support these complex applications to give them the best chance of success and I think this possibly the best money I have ever spent for her help with this project. I can't recommend Simply Planning enough. Well deserved 5 stars!!

Michelle responded quickly to mine and my husband’s initial inquiry and offered a free high level assessment of the proposal. She came back the next day and we really appreciated her view and honesty over the unlikelihood of achieving what we wanted. She was clear and explained her thoughts. She could have dragged out the process or said she needed to perform a costly assessment but she didn’t. We hugely valued this. Would definitely recommend.
Excellent service and a fantastic result! Michelle made the whole process easy and stress free, she provided expert advice and managed the application process on our behalf. If you’re struggling with planning, you should give Simple Planning Solutions a call.
We appointed Michelle to act on our behalf to appeal against an enforcement notice served upon us. Michelle was prompt to deal with this, preparing the appeal statement within a week ready for submission. We have recently had the Appeal Decision in our favour. Result!
Thanks again.
Thanks again.

Michelle helped with my planning application extremely professional throughout having completed the process and getting the application passed, very happy with the service form start to finish and would highly recommend Michelle
Thank you Michelle, for your patience perseverance and determination! We got the result in the end and all thanks to you! Great knowledge, understanding and advice! Can’t recommend Michelle enough for anyone looking for planning help! X

We came into contact with Michelle of Simple Planning Solutions as a result of a case involving a difficult neighbour and an incompetent local authority. At all times Michelle has got to the heart of the matter very quickly, never seeking to over-complicate anything or 'blind us with science.' Throughout she has been clear, helpful and pleasant. Her written skills are also first-class.
The matter we are dealing with is going to Appeal and we had no hesitation in engaging Simple Planning Solutions.
I cannot regard her work more highly or recommend her too highly.

After many planning issues and attempts to sort them ourselves we called upon Michelle, who has really gone above and beyond to get the job done. Very professional and gets results. In hindsight we should have used her from the very start.

Aeolus Air Quality Consulting worked with Simple Planning Solutions in March 2022, helping their client retrospectively discharge planning conditions.
Michelle was honest, responsive and ensured we were paid by their client on time. We would recommend Simple Planning Solutions and look forward to working with Michelle in the future.

Understood the brief quickly and produced a balanced and exhaustive report that ultimately helped us secure planning in a conservation area. Was also excellent with advice during and after the process. Quick and easy to reach when needed, fully transparent with fees. Very much recommended, I would definitely use again.
