Broad Planning & Architecture

Established in 2004, Broad Planning & Architecture is a Wolverhampton-based consultancy serving clients across the West Midlands, Staffordshire, Shropshire, and nationwide. Our practice combines over 26 years of architectural expertise with in-depth planning knowledge, led by Director Sheila Porter, a Chartered Town Planner with 28 years of experience in architectural design and public/private sector planning. We specialise in feasibility studies, planning applications, and architectural design for residential, commercial, and industrial projects, offering end-to-end support from initial concept to implementation. Our unique strength lies in integrating planning consultancy with architectural services, enabling us to navigate complex development control processes while delivering cost-effective, creative design solutions. We have successfully secured planning permissions for challenging sites, including cases where previous submissions by others were refused.

Our services include measured building surveys, design and access statements, and detailed construction drawings, supported by a network of specialist consultants for structural and ecological assessments. We prioritise client collaboration, tailoring our approach to individual project requirements while maintaining rigorous compliance with evolving planning policies. Our track record demonstrates expertise in negotiating with planning authorities, preparing retrospective applications, and resolving enforcement issues. With a focus on unlocking property potential, we provide continuity through in-house architectural and planning services, ensuring seamless project progression. Our work spans sectors including residential developments, commercial buildings, and heritage sites, reflecting our adaptability to diverse client needs.
