By trade

Planning leads in Croydon, trade by trade.

Croydon council took 2,066 planning applications in the 12 months to 21 Oct 2026. 1,448 of them (70%) 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, Croydon's register favours windows & doors (976), roofing (895) and builders & bricklayers (839): one application usually means work for several trades, so these overlap.

The most active postcode districts are CR0 (393), CR2 (257) and CR8 (210).

About 168 trade-relevant applications a month over the last 5 full months, peaking in June 2026 with 204.

Applications that mean work, last 12 months

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 Croydon 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 Croydon council decide planning applications?

Croydon council decided 91.5% of its applications within the statutory time limit in 2025, and granted 84.9% of its "other" decisions, the government category that holds householder applications (809 of 953, 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?

Croydon 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 We match each application against the trade rules your list uses, drop refused and withdrawn applications, and keep one line per household.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.

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.
