What access details should I check for a removal in Solihull And Black Country?
Follow the complete path from the intended vehicle position to the largest items. Measure door openings, stair turns and lifts, and confirm who controls shared entrances. The property type alone does not tell the team what will fit or where it can load.
Local arrangements to check
Solihull’s permission is not transferable to another vehicle or location. Check the registration and loading position before finalising the access plan. Use these published terms with the council’s current application instructions; they do not cover neighbouring Black Country councils. Read Solihull dispensation terms for the current instructions.
Apply this to your address
This service area spans separate councils. Identify Solihull, Dudley, Walsall or the other responsible authority from the actual address; no single permission or notice period covers the whole area. See Dudley parking dispensations, Walsall parking dispensations.
Make an access record for both addresses
- Record the lawful stopping position, carrying distance, steps and entrance used.
- Measure awkward items against the narrowest door, corridor, stair turn or lift opening.
- Confirm lift reservations, keys and any building loading slot with the responsible person.
Send photographs and measurements before the move if an item may not pass. Discuss preparation or a different handling plan with the team; do not wait until arrival to discover that the planned route is unusable.
