The work
What Cotswold's building applications are for, and where.
32% of Cotswold's 616 building applications in the last 12 months were single-storey extension, then new dwelling or self-build (98).
The work clusters in GL7 (234), GL54 (143) and GL8 (53): those three postcode districts filed 70% of it.
Filings ran at about 60 a month over the last 5 full months, peaking in July 2026 with 67.
That is 28% of everything filed with Cotswold District Council in the year (2,180 applications); the rest is other trades' work, adverts, trees and paperwork.

How many builder leads are there in Cotswold?
187 in the 90 days to 21 Oct 2026, and 616 in the 12 months to the same date: planning applications filed with Cotswold District 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 Refused and withdrawn applications are not counted, and nothing is estimated.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 Cotswold?
In the last 12 months: single-storey extension (196), new dwelling or self-build (98), two-storey or first-floor extension (87) and outbuilding or annexe or detached garage (83). Single-storey shells start 0–3 months after consent; two-storey 0–4.
Which parts of Cotswold file the most building work?
By postcode district over the last 12 months: GL7 (234), GL54 (143), GL8 (53), GL56 (52) and GL55 (49). Your list can cover the whole council, a few districts, or a radius around your yard.
How quickly does Cotswold District Council decide planning applications?
Cotswold District Council decided 90.3% of its applications within the statutory time limit in 2025, and granted 91.6% of its "other" decisions, the government category that holds householder applications (870 of 950, 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 Cotswold 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.
