Why we can write to you

Why we are allowed to write to you — our legitimate interests, in short

Renamed 2026-08-20 (ticket 869em1n5x): the trading name changed

from Plan & Post to Just Granted. The controller is unchanged —

Blueworkz Ltd, company number 13258077. The contact address and

website named below still read planandpost.co.uk: the new domain

and mailbox are separate tickets (869em1nqu, 869em1ny7), and the

old address keeps working either way.

Status: DRAFT (2026-08-11), awaiting approval. This is the public

summary of the legitimate interests assessment we carry out for the

Just Granted letter service. It is written for the person who received a

letter, not for a lawyer. The full internal assessment is longer and

more technical; ask us and we will talk you through it.

Just Granted is a trading name of Blueworkz Ltd (company number

13258077), registered at 39 Crispin Field, Pitstone, Leighton

Buzzard, LU7 9BG. Contact us at hello@planandpost.co.uk.

The short version

If you submitted a planning application, your local council published it

on a public register that anyone may read — that is what the register is

for, and it is required by law. We take the details from that register

and let building-trade businesses write to you, by post only, about

work related to your application.

We do that under **Article 6(1)(f) of the UK GDPR — legitimate

interests**. That basis requires us to weigh what we and our subscribers

get out of it against your rights and your reasonable expectations. We

have done that in writing, we keep it under review, and this page is the

summary.

What we weighed

Our interest, and our subscribers'. Small building firms need to

reach people who have a live project. A householder with planning

permission usually does want quotes, and a letter that arrives at the

right moment is genuinely useful to both sides.

Necessity. We cannot do this without the applicant's name and site

address, because the letter has to arrive. We use no more than that: no

telephone numbers, no email addresses, no financial data, no special

category data, and no profiling or automated decision-making about you.

Your side of the balance. The information is already public and you

submitted it yourself, so a letter about your own building project is

not a surprise in the way an unexplained cold contact would be. Even so,

we accept that a member of the public does not put an application on a

register in order to receive post, so we constrain what we do:

• Post only. No marketing email, no text messages, no phone calls to

applicants — ever. Post is the least intrusive channel there is: you

can put it in the recycling and that is the end of it.

• At most two letters per subscriber per application — one when the

application is submitted, one when it is decided. That ceiling is

enforced by the system, not left to good intentions.

• An absolute right to stop. See below. It is free, needs no reason,

and works across every business using the service.

• Published retention periods, so the data does not sit with us

indefinitely.

• Every letter tells you where the details came from, who sent it,

and how to stop further letters. That is printed on the paper by the

system that posts it; a subscriber cannot remove it.

Our conclusion

Weighing those together, our view is that our interests and our

subscribers' are not overridden by your interests, rights and

freedoms — on the strict conditions above, and no further. If we ever

wanted to contact applicants by another channel, write more often, or

use the data for something else, that would be a different question and

this assessment would not cover it.

Stopping letters

Under **Article 21 of the UK GDPR you have an absolute right to object

to direct marketing.** There is no balancing test on our side of that

one: you object, we stop.

Email hello@planandpost.co.uk, or write to us at the registered

office above. Quote the reference printed on your letter if you have it

— it helps us find the right address — but it is not required, and we

never ask for a reason or for proof.

We add you to our suppression list within 10 working days, usually

much sooner. That list applies to every business using Just Granted,

not just the one that wrote to you, and it also removes you from the

data any subscriber can download from us in future. We keep the entry

for as long as we operate, because deleting it would restart exactly the

letters you asked us to stop.

Reviewing this

We review the assessment behind this summary at least once a year, and

sooner if anything material changes — the channels we use, how often a

letter can be sent, what data we collect, or who receives it.

You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at

ico.org.uk. We would rather you told us first, but the route is yours.
