Landscapers & driveway contractors — planning application leads | PlanWatch
PlanWatch Demand Radar · for landscapers & driveway contractors

Driveway and landscaping applications — plus every big build that will wreck a garden.

Explicit landscaping and access applications are immediate work. Behind them: every extension and new dwelling ends with a garden reinstatement 3–12 months later. Both are in the register.

9,969 matching applications hit the UK register in the last 30 days — filtered down to just the councils or postcode areas you cover.

Why the register beats every other lead source

Spring enquiry spikes and winter droughts — consent-driven work smooths the year.
Post-build reinstatement jobs go to whoever mails the house during the build.
Dropped-kerb and access applications are pure driveway intent nobody else is watching.

Driveways run £5,000–£20,000; full garden schemes far more. The register hands you both the now and the later.

Exactly what we match for landscapers & driveway contractors

This is the real matching table, not marketing. Every lead row you receive shows its trigger, demand window and confidence — and the reasoning is printed on the row so you can sanity-check every address before it's mailed.

See what’s in your patch

Type the councils or postcode areas you actually work. We will run the last 90 days of the public register through the same trigger model your batches use and tell you how much matching demand is sitting in it right now.

Counts only. High and medium confidence matches, deduplicated to one line per application. The site addresses, planning references and per-row reasoning are what a subscription buys.

How it works

1. Pick your patch

The councils or postcode prefixes you cover — a town, a county, or several.

2. We scan the register

Every month we cross live planning applications from 378 UK councils with the trigger model above and score the demand window.

3. You get a mailing list

A deduped, mailing-house-ready CSV of "Owner/Occupier" addresses — one household, one letter, prior recipients suppressed automatically.

The rules (non-negotiable)

Postal outreach only. Mail only — no email, no SMS, no cold calls. Each letter should cite the planning reference and carry an opt-out address. The data is from the public planning register; we store no applicant names and address letters to "The Owner/Occupier".
