Solihull window and heritage context
Replacement windows can involve both Building Regulations certification and tighter planning controls in protected areas
Solihull Council lists replacement windows and doors by installers outside recognised competent-person schemes among common work requiring Building Regulations approval. Separately, the borough's 20 conservation areas can restrict permitted development, and some locations have Article 4 directions that bring window and door changes into planning control.
Non-competent-person replacement work may need a Building Control application
Solihull's homeowner guidance says window and door replacement by installers who are not BSI, CERTASS or FENSA approved is among common improvements requiring Building Regulations approval. Ask the installer how the completed work will be certified before accepting the quote.

Conservation areas and Article 4 directions can remove the normal planning freedom for window changes
Solihull Council says its 20 conservation areas have tighter controls and may also be subject to Article 4 directions. Current council material for White House Way, for example, states that installation or alteration of windows and doors requires planning permission under its Article 4 direction. Always check the exact address rather than assuming all conservation areas have identical controls.

Window specialists may cover Solihull by postcode, frame system and project size. Example areas include:
SolihullShirleyKnowleDorridgeOltonDickens HeathHockley HeathBalsall Common
Give the property status before choosing the frame
A standard replacement in Shirley and a window change in a protected part of Olton, White House Way or central Solihull may face different planning constraints. Check the address before ordering units.
Certification and planning are separate questions. A FENSA or CERTASS route can address Building Regulations for eligible replacement work, but it does not override conservation-area, Article 4 or listed-building planning controls.
