By trade

Planning leads in Northumberland, trade by trade.

Northumberland council took 3,371 planning applications in the 12 months to 21 Oct 2026. 1,505 of them (45%) 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, Northumberland's register favours windows & doors (786), builders & bricklayers (659) and roofing (630): one application usually means work for several trades, so these overlap.

The most active postcode districts are NE61 (165), NE66 (144) and NE46 (142).

About 154 trade-relevant applications a month over the last 5 full months, peaking in September 2026 with 183.
