By trade

Planning leads in East Suffolk, trade by trade.

East Suffolk Council took 2,815 planning applications in the 12 months to 21 Oct 2026. 1,346 of them (48%) 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 Suffolk's register favours windows & doors (761), builders & bricklayers (679) and roofing (635): one application usually means work for several trades, so these overlap.

The most active postcode districts are IP12 (178), IP13 (177) and NR32 (108).

About 133 trade-relevant applications a month over the last 5 full months, peaking in September 2026 with 170.

Timing

The plans are public weeks before East Suffolk 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.
