Which councils cover Stockport?

Planning applications for Stockport are handled by Manchester and Stockport. PlanPost monitors all of them every day.

How quickly will I see new Stockport leads?

Within 24 hours of submission. We pull new applications every day, and matches land on your dashboard the same morning. Review each one and queue the letter yourself, or switch on auto-send so PlanPost queues it the moment a match comes in. Either way, PlanPost prints and posts.

Can I cover more than just Stockport?

Pick a postcode and a radius between 1 and 20 miles. PlanPost monitors one area at a time, so set the radius wide enough to cover the surrounding towns.

What if I get more Stockport leads than my plan covers?

Extra letters get billed at a small per-letter rate (£1.29 to £1.49 + VAT, by tier). You can cap your monthly extra letters if you'd rather not let it run.

For Builders in Stockport

PlanPost turns new planning applications into construction leads in Stockport: we spot each relevant application the day it's filed, then print and post a branded letter from you to the homeowner before they've even started looking for a builder. Review each lead, or set it to auto-send the lot. Your letter lands on a doormat before anyone else's van turns up.

The product

From planning application to doormat in 24 hours

Done-for-you letters

Branded letters, printed and posted for you

Upload your logo and letterhead once, or let PlanPost generate one for you. Every matched application triggers a letter personalised with the homeowner's address and the project they applied for. The greeting stays “Dear Homeowner”: we never use their name. Royal Mail, same working day.

“The letters look better than anything I'd have put together myself. One landed on a £72k loft before the homeowner had even spoken to another builder.”

Re: Your planning application at 22 Laurel Gardens

Dear Homeowner,

Congratulations on submitting your planning application for a loft conversion at 22 Laurel Gardens. It's exciting to see local homeowners investing in improving their properties.

I'm writing to introduce Oakwood Construction, a local building company that specialises in extensions, loft conversions and home improvements across South Sheffield. We've been trading since 2012, and everything we build is carried out by our own team rather than subcontractors, so someone is on your job every day and the work never stalls.

We finished a loft conversion much like yours on Abbeydale Road earlier this year: two bedrooms and a shower room, done in eleven weeks with the family living at home throughout.

I know the two big questions at this stage are what it will really cost and what it's like to live through the build. Those are exactly the things I'd rather set out honestly with you before you commit to anything.

If you'd like to discuss your plans or would welcome a free, no-obligation consultation, I'd be happy to visit at a time that suits you. Call me on 0114 555 0192, or scan the code below to see examples of our recent work.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,

Dave Morgan
