By trade

Planning leads in Sutton, trade by trade.

Sutton council took 1,198 planning applications in the 12 months to 21 Oct 2026. 928 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, Sutton's register favours windows & doors (642), builders & bricklayers (615) and roofing (582): one application usually means work for several trades, so these overlap.

The most active postcode districts are SM1 (195), SM5 (173) and SM6 (145).

About 110 trade-relevant applications a month over the last 5 full months, peaking in June 2026 with 130.

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 Sutton 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.
