Addresses for letters to “The Owner/Occupier”. No phone numbers, no names, no doorstep lists.
356 applications filed with Bradford council in the 90 days to 21 Oct 2026 mean work for builders, and 1,105 in the last 12 months. We read the register every day and post you the addresses, so your letter lands while they’re still choosing.
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.

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 Refused and withdrawn applications are not counted, and nothing is estimated.
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.
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.
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.
