By trade

Planning leads in East Hertfordshire, trade by trade.

East Hertfordshire District Council took 1,623 planning applications in the 12 months to 21 Oct 2026. 945 of them (58%) 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, East Hertfordshire's register favours windows & doors (730), builders & bricklayers (590) and roofing (545): one application usually means work for several trades, so these overlap.

The most active postcode districts are CM23 (193), SG12 (171) and SG14 (134).

About 83 trade-relevant applications a month over the last 5 full months, peaking in September 2026 with 101.

Applications that mean work, last 12 months
