Heaton Moor is a suburb located in the southern part of Stockport, offering a mix of residential areas and local amenities, with easy access to the town centre.
Live geography from the official record. A district or place name is a group of postcodes, not one address.

Found in the same 2.8 km sample around the centre of SK4, from 225 live postcodes. Proximity, not a boundary.
Point sources need one coordinate, so these are anchored on SK4 4PD — the live postcode nearest the centre of the area. They describe that point, not every street. Crime is counted across the whole Town Centre policing neighbourhood, which is the Police.uk boundary containing SK4 4PD — a named area can span several of them, so this is the one covering the centre of Heaton Moor, not all of it. Each keeps its source, its geography and its limits. Counts are counts: an incident total is not a safety measure, and an empty planning result is not a completed search.
Police.uk · Town Centre neighbourhood
One month of records for the Town Centre policing neighbourhood — the boundary police.uk itself shows, so this figure should match theirs. Not a year. Locations are anonymised to a nearby street, not an address. Counts are not adjusted for population, visitors or reporting differences and must not be treated as a neighbourhood quality score.

About Planning Data ↗Application-level planning data comes from the Planning London Datahub, which covers the 35 London planning authorities. No other authority publishes an equivalent feed, so nothing has been substituted.

Places mapped in OpenStreetMap within this distance of the postcode point, measured straight-line, and kept only where the map tags them as the kind of place the heading claims. OpenStreetMap is volunteer-maintained and this search returns the closest matches rather than every one: a short list is not proof that nothing else is there. Distances are not walking routes, and nothing here checks opening hours, whether a surgery is accepting patients, or whether a place is still trading.
