The work

What Bradford's building applications are for, and where.

51% of Bradford's 1,105 building applications in the last 12 months were single-storey extension, then two-storey or first-floor extension (210).

The work clusters in LS29 (145), BD2 (93) and BD7 (79): those three postcode districts filed 29% of it.

Filings ran at about 129 a month over the last 5 full months, peaking in June 2026 with 145.

That is 37% of everything filed with Bradford council in the year (2,999 applications); the rest is other trades' work, adverts, trees and paperwork.

How many builder leads are there in Bradford?

356 in the 90 days to 21 Oct 2026, and 1,105 in the 12 months to the same date: planning applications filed with Bradford council that match our rules for bricklayers & building contractors at high or medium confidence. Refused and withdrawn applications are not counted, and nothing is estimated.

What building work gets filed in Bradford?

In the last 12 months: single-storey extension (569), two-storey or first-floor extension (210), extension (104) and new dwelling or self-build (72). Single-storey shells start 0–3 months after consent; two-storey 0–4.

Which parts of Bradford file the most building work?

By postcode district over the last 12 months: LS29 (145), BD2 (93), BD7 (79), BD9 (78) and BD20 (67). Your list can cover the whole council, a few districts, or a radius around your yard.

How quickly does Bradford council decide planning applications?

Bradford council decided 82.8% of its applications within the statutory time limit in 2025, and granted 87.2% of its "other" decisions, the government category that holds householder applications (1,476 of 1,693, MHCLG PS2 figures). The target for a householder application is eight weeks, so a letter sent the week it is filed lands well before the decision.

Can another builder in Bradford get the same list?

Not from us while you hold it. Exclusive cover is one firm per trade per patch, and we check your patch is free before you pay. The register itself is public, so anyone can read it: what you pay for is the reading, the matching, the deduplication and a list your printer can post the same day.

How do I get the addresses?

Subscribe to Demand Radar for £149 a month. Your first list arrives within 24 hours, then only new homes every month, as a CSV your printer or mailing house can run as it is. Addresses are for letters to "The Owner/Occupier" only: no names, no phone numbers.
