Everything PlanPost does for you.
From monitoring 389 UK councils to printing and posting branded letters to homeowners, PlanPost automates the entire planning lead pipeline. Here's how every piece works.

389 councils checked. Every single day.
PlanPost connects to every local planning authority in the UK and pulls new applications daily. Extensions, loft conversions, new builds, heritage work. Each application is classified by type, matched to your area, and delivered to your dashboard the same day it's filed.

Professional letters, printed and posted for you.
Every matched application triggers a personalised letter to the homeowner, automatically or after you review each lead. Your letterhead, your company name, their planning reference. Printed on quality paper and dispatched Royal Mail, same working day.

Set your area and project types in under five minutes.
Enter your postcode, pick a radius, choose the types of work you want. PlanPost auto-detects which councils cover your patch and starts matching leads immediately. Need a letterhead and letter? The AI generator builds a letterhead from your company details and writes a distinctive letter in your voice, ready to tweak.

Every lead, from first letter to job won.
New, Letter Sent, Responded, Quoted, Won. See where every lead sits at a glance. Add notes, record the job value when you win. Track your real return on investment: not just letters sent, but pounds in the bank.

The second letter is the one that converts.
Optional follow-up letters that fire automatically when the council grants the application. Turn the feature on and PlanPost sends a second letter congratulating the homeowner and reminding them you're ready to quote. You're in front of them at the exact moment they're ready to pick a builder.

Track every scan back to the letter.
Optional QR codes turn your letters into a measurable touchpoint. When a homeowner scans the code on your letter, they're redirected to your website (with UTM tags) and the visit is logged to that lead. See scans on each lead's timeline and your overall scan rate in your 30-day dashboard stats. Direct mail, finally measurable. Available on every plan.
