The work
What Croydon's building applications are for, and where.
47% of Croydon's 839 building applications in the last 12 months were single-storey extension, then extension (151).
The work clusters in CR0 (215), CR2 (163) and CR7 (110): those three postcode districts filed 58% of it.
Filings ran at about 93 a month over the last 5 full months, peaking in June 2026 with 109.
That is 41% of everything filed with Croydon council in the year (2,066 applications); the rest is other trades' work, adverts, trees and paperwork.

How many builder leads are there in Croydon?
197 in the 90 days to 21 Oct 2026, and 839 in the 12 months to the same date: planning applications filed with Croydon 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 Refused and withdrawn applications are not counted, and nothing is estimated.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 Croydon?
In the last 12 months: single-storey extension (393), extension (151), two-storey or first-floor extension (138) and new dwelling or self-build (60). Single-storey shells start 0–3 months after consent; two-storey 0–4.
Which parts of Croydon file the most building work?
By postcode district over the last 12 months: CR0 (215), CR2 (163), CR7 (110), CR8 (109) and CR5 (94). Your list can cover the whole council, a few districts, or a radius around your yard.
How quickly does Croydon council decide planning applications?
Croydon council decided 91.5% of its applications within the statutory time limit in 2025, and granted 84.9% of its "other" decisions, the government category that holds householder applications (809 of 953, 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 Croydon 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.
