By trade
Planning leads in Sheffield, trade by trade.
Sheffield council took 1,707 planning applications in the 12 months to 21 Oct 2026. 1,314 of them (77%) 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, Sheffield's register favours windows & doors (949), roofing (853) and builders & bricklayers (842): one application usually means work for several trades, so these overlap.
The most active postcode districts are S10 (163), S11 (152) and S6 (123).
About 147 trade-relevant applications a month over the last 5 full months, peaking in June 2026 with 178.
Applications that mean work, last 12 months
One application usually means work for several trades, so the rows overlap.

Descriptions are the applicant’s own words from the public register. We leave out any row that names a person or carries a house number.
Timing
The plans are public weeks before Sheffield 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.

369 in the 90 days to 21 Oct 2026 and 1,314 in the 12 months to the same date: planning applications filed with Sheffield council that match at least one trade's rules at high or medium confidence. Refused and withdrawn applications are left out.
Which trades get the most work from planning applications in Sheffield?
Over the last 12 months: skip hire & waste (1,028), electricians (968), windows & doors (949), flooring (920), plastering & decorating (920) and roofing (853). Most applications mean work for more than one trade: an extension needs a builder, a roofer, windows, electrics and plastering.

By postcode district, over the last 12 months: S10 (163), S11 (152), S6 (123), S8 (109) and S35 (104).
How quickly does Sheffield council decide planning applications?
Sheffield council decided 88.6% of its applications within the statutory time limit in 2025, and granted 89% of its "other" decisions, the government category that holds householder applications (1,187 of 1,334, 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.
Where does the data come from?
Sheffield council's own public planning register, read every day. We match each application against the trade rules your list uses, drop refused and withdrawn applications, and keep one line per household. We never sell names or phone numbers.
How do I get the addresses?
Pick your trade and claim your patch: £149 a month for one trade. Your first list arrives within 24 hours, then only new homes every month, as a CSV for letters to "The Owner/Occupier". One firm per trade per patch.
