Every TradeMailer campaign starts with a real, recently approved planning application.

This example shows the type of project trades use TradeMailer for — and why contacting property owners after planning approval leads to better conversations and better jobs.

What you’ll see in this example

This is a genuine UK planning application, not a made-up case study.

You’ll be able to see:

The type of work that was approved

The scale of the project

When planning was granted

Why it was a good opportunity for trades

How trades use this information to introduce themselves early

This reflects the same type of planning data TradeMailer filters and sends to trades every day.

How this works in practice

When a trade uses TradeMailer, every planning approval they’re matched to — and every letter that’s sent on their behalf — appears in their dashboard.

Each entry includes:

The planning reference

Key project details

A direct link to the original planning application on the local planning authority’s website

That means if a property owner calls and asks for a quote, the trade can:

Open the planning application

View drawings, documents, and notes

Understand the scope before visiting the site

It removes guesswork and makes initial conversations far more informed.

There’s no sales call and no obligation — it’s simply to show you how this works in practice.
