By trade

Planning leads in Brent, trade by trade.

Brent council took 2,680 planning applications in the 12 months to 21 Oct 2026. 1,768 of them (66%) mean work for at least one trade; the rest are adverts, trees, conditions and paperwork, and they never reach a list.

Of the main building trades, Brent's register favours windows & doors (1,277), roofing (1,099) and builders & bricklayers (971): one application usually means work for several trades, so these overlap.

The most active postcode districts are NW10 (439), HA9 (258) and NW2 (254).

About 173 trade-relevant applications a month over the last 5 full months, peaking in September 2026 with 217.

Descriptions are the applicant’s own words from the public register. We leave out any row that names a person or carries a house number.

Timing

The plans are public weeks before Brent decides.

A homeowner tells the council first. By the time they search for a firm, they’re already getting quotes. Your letter can land in the first week.

How quickly does Brent council decide planning applications?
