By trade
Planning leads in Epping Forest, trade by trade.
Epping Forest District Council took 1,998 planning applications in the 12 months to 21 Oct 2026. 1,250 of them (63%) 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, Epping Forest's register favours windows & doors (857), roofing (794) and builders & bricklayers (733): one application usually means work for several trades, so these overlap.
The most active postcode districts are IG10 (259), CM16 (213) and EN9 (165).
About 118 trade-relevant applications a month over the last 5 full months, peaking in June 2026 with 158.

How quickly does Epping Forest District Council decide planning applications?
Epping Forest District Council decided 93.6% of its applications within the statutory time limit in 2025, and granted 70.6% of its "other" decisions, the government category that holds householder applications (695 of 985, 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.
