Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find a planning application in Stockport?

Our site makes it simple to search for planning applications. You can use our easy-to-use search bar to look up applications by **postcode, street name,** or the **planning reference number.** We gather and present the latest information directly from the Stockport Council planning system in a clear, straightforward format.

How often is the website updated with new applications?

We keep our data fresh so you can stay informed. Our site regularly refreshes its database to reflect new applications as they are published by Stockport Council, which is typically on a **weekly** basis. If you create an alert, we'll notify you automatically when a new application is submitted for your area of interest.

Can I comment on or object to an application?

Yes. Your feedback is an important part of the planning process. While you can't submit comments directly on our site, each application page includes a direct link to the **official Stockport Council planning portal.** This is where you can formally submit your comments, whether you wish to support, object to, or provide a neutral statement on an application.

Do I need planning permission for my project?

Many common household projects, like extensions or loft conversions, are considered "permitted development" and don't always require a full planning application. However, there are many conditions and rules that determine this. It's always best to check the official guidelines on the **Planning Portal** website, which provides detailed information and a helpful interactive tool to help you understand if your project needs permission.

What is a "planning application" and why is it important?

A planning application is a formal request to a local authority, like Stockport Council, to allow for new construction or changes to a building or land. It's important because it ensures that all new developments meet certain standards and don't negatively impact the surrounding area, local infrastructure, or community. Staying informed about applications in your area allows you to have a say in how your neighborhood develops.
