127 applications filed with Hertsmere Borough Council in the 90 days to 21 Oct 2026 mean work for builders, and 481 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.
53% of Hertsmere's 481 building applications in the last 12 months were single-storey extension, then two-storey or first-floor extension (96).
The work clusters in EN6 (151), WD6 (128) and WD23 (85): those three postcode districts filed 76% of it.
Filings ran at about 50 a month over the last 5 full months, peaking in June 2026 with 56.
That is 37% of everything filed with Hertsmere Borough Council in the year (1,312 applications); the rest is other trades' work, adverts, trees and paperwork.

Hertsmere Borough Council decided 91.6% of its applications within the statutory time limit in 2025, and granted 93.9% of its "other" decisions, the government category that holds householder applications (505 of 538, 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.
