By trade

Planning leads in Maidstone, trade by trade.

Maidstone Borough Council took 1,582 planning applications in the 12 months to 21 Oct 2026. 853 of them (54%) 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, Maidstone's register favours windows & doors (523), builders & bricklayers (463) and roofing (430): one application usually means work for several trades, so these overlap.

The most active postcode districts are ME17 (196), ME14 (176) and ME15 (165).

About 100 trade-relevant applications a month over the last 5 full months, peaking in June 2026 with 111.
