By trade

Planning leads in Solihull, trade by trade.

Solihull council took 1,328 planning applications in the 12 months to 21 Oct 2026. 1,028 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, Solihull's register favours windows & doors (695), builders & bricklayers (653) and roofing (641): one application usually means work for several trades, so these overlap.

The most active postcode districts are B92 (213), B91 (208) and B90 (203).

About 107 trade-relevant applications a month over the last 5 full months, peaking in July 2026 with 128.
