Stockport Planning Consultants
‘We love helping clients win Planning Permission in Stockport’
Stockport has a diverse urban-rural character, shaped by its geography, historical development, and Green Belt designation (approximately 47% of Stockport is within the Green Belt). Stockport combines dense urban areas like Stockport Town Centre, Edgeley, and Heaton Norris with suburban neighbourhoods such as Cheadle, Bramhall, and Heaton Moor, and more rural settlements including Marple, High Lane, and Mellor.
We help secure planning permission on sites throughout Stockport be it within Conservation Areas, the Green Belt or town centre sites. We can help you with:
Flat conversions and change-of-use schemes in the town centre
Intensification and infill plots in suburban areas.
Green Belt and Conservation Area planning proposals.
Brownfield site redevelopment.
Section 106 negotiations and affordable housing thresholds.
Lawful Development Certificates.
