By trade
Planning leads in Cotswold, trade by trade.
Cotswold District Council took 2,180 planning applications in the 12 months to 21 Oct 2026. 1,463 of them (67%) 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, Cotswold's register favours windows & doors (723), builders & bricklayers (616) and roofing (600): one application usually means work for several trades, so these overlap.
The most active postcode districts are GL7 (496), GL54 (346) and GL8 (144).
About 153 trade-relevant applications a month over the last 5 full months, peaking in September 2026 with 182.
Applications that mean work, last 12 months

Timing
The plans are public weeks before Cotswold 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 Cotswold District Council decide planning applications?
Cotswold District Council decided 90.3% of its applications within the statutory time limit in 2025, and granted 91.6% of its "other" decisions, the government category that holds householder applications (870 of 950, 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.
Where does the data come from?
Cotswold District Council's own public planning register, read every day. We match each application against the trade rules your list uses, drop refused and withdrawn applications, and keep one line per household. We never sell names or phone numbers.
How do I get the addresses?
Pick your trade and claim your patch: £149 a month for one trade. Your first list arrives within 24 hours, then only new homes every month, as a CSV for letters to "The Owner/Occupier". One firm per trade per patch.
