By trade

Planning leads in Shropshire, trade by trade.

Shropshire Council took 3,006 planning applications in the 12 months to 21 Oct 2026. 1,512 of them (50%) 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, Shropshire's register favours windows & doors (828), builders & bricklayers (738) and roofing (717): one application usually means work for several trades, so these overlap.

The most active postcode districts are SY3 (180), SY5 (112) and SY4 (109).

About 194 trade-relevant applications a month over the last 5 full months, peaking in June 2026 with 238.

Applications that mean work, last 12 months

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 Shropshire 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.

How many construction leads are there in Shropshire?

Which trades get the most work from planning applications in Shropshire?

Over the last 12 months: skip hire & waste (905), electricians (860), windows & doors (828), flooring (764), plastering & decorating (764) and builders & bricklayers (738).

Where in Shropshire is the most building work?

By postcode district, over the last 12 months: SY3 (180), SY5 (112), SY4 (109), SY2 (74) and SY8 (74).

How quickly does Shropshire Council decide planning applications?

Shropshire Council decided 91.7% of its applications within the statutory time limit in 2025, and granted 92.3% of its "other" decisions, the government category that holds householder applications (1,162 of 1,259, 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?

Shropshire 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 We match each application against the trade rules your list uses, drop refused and withdrawn applications, and keep one line per household.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.
