The work
What the South Downs' building applications are for, and where.
30% of the South Downs' 572 building applications in the last 12 months were single-storey extension, then outbuilding or annexe or detached garage (105).
The work clusters in BN7 (54), GU32 (49) and GU31 (39): those three postcode districts filed 25% of it.
Filings ran at about 67 a month over the last 5 full months, peaking in June 2026 with 82.
That is 22% of everything filed with South Downs council in the year (2,608 applications); the rest is other trades' work, adverts, trees and paperwork.

How many builder leads are there in the South Downs?
155 in the 90 days to 21 Oct 2026, and 572 in the 12 months to the same date: planning applications filed with South Downs 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 Refused and withdrawn applications are not counted, and nothing is estimated.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 the South Downs?
In the last 12 months: single-storey extension (174), outbuilding or annexe or detached garage (105), two-storey or first-floor extension (75) and extension (71). Single-storey shells start 0–3 months after consent; two-storey 0–4.
Which parts of the South Downs file the most building work?
By postcode district over the last 12 months: BN7 (54), GU32 (49), GU31 (39), PO18 (39) and GU29 (34). Your list can cover the whole council, a few districts, or a radius around your yard.
How quickly does South Downs council decide planning applications?
The statutory target for a householder application is eight weeks in England and Wales and two months in Scotland. A letter sent the week an application is filed in the South Downs lands well before the decision, and long before the homeowner starts ringing round.
Can another builder in the South Downs 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.
