By trade
Planning leads in Bristol, trade by trade.
Bristol council took 3,428 planning applications in the 12 months to 21 Oct 2026. 1,889 of them (55%) 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, Bristol's register favours windows & doors (1,023), roofing (889) and builders & bricklayers (722): one application usually means work for several trades, so these overlap.
The most active postcode districts are BS9 (261), BS8 (252) and BS6 (241).
About 214 trade-relevant applications a month over the last 5 full months, peaking in July 2026 with 257.
