Greater Manchester is a dense conurbation centred on Manchester and Salford, ringed by towns such as Bolton, Wigan, Oldham, Rochdale, Bury, Stockport and Altrincham. Green Belt separates many of these towns and covers the moorland fringe, so most housing land is previously developed: former mills, industrial estates, yards and town-centre sites. Grey belt and small edge-of-settlement fields can also come forward on the urban fringe.
What usually makes or breaks it
Plan stage
An adopted allocation carries more weight than a draft one or a call-for-sites submission.
Shared allocations
Where several owners hold one allocation, collaboration and equalisation matter.
Evidence base
Councils expect technical evidence on deliverability.
The August 2026 NPPF supports homes within reasonable walking distance (around 800 metres) of well-connected railway stations, with minimum densities of 35 homes per hectare, or 45 near higher-frequency stations.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 60 miles from Stockport, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Your questions answered
Is there an equivalent of a call for sites in Wales?
Yes. Welsh councils run candidate site stages when preparing or reviewing their Local Development Plans.
My land was under an option that expired. Can you take over?
Yes, if the earlier agreement has properly ended. We will want to see it to confirm there is no continuing exclusivity.
Which planning rules apply to land in Stockport?
As Stockport is in England, national policy comes from the National Planning Policy Framework, revised in August 2026. Local policies in the council's development plan also apply.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Stockport assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
