By trade
Planning leads in York, trade by trade.
York council took 1,884 planning applications in the 12 months to 21 Oct 2026. 1,185 of them (63%) 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, York's register favours windows & doors (592), roofing (523) and builders & bricklayers (511): one application usually means work for several trades, so these overlap.
The most active postcode districts are YO10 (175), YO30 (146) and YO32 (144).
About 127 trade-relevant applications a month over the last 5 full months, peaking in July 2026 with 142.
Applications that mean work, last 12 months

Timing
The plans are public weeks before York 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 quickly does York council decide planning applications?
York council decided 88.8% of its applications within the statutory time limit in 2025, and granted 84.8% of its "other" decisions, the government category that holds householder applications (791 of 933, 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?
York 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 We match each application against the trade rules your list uses, drop refused and withdrawn applications, and keep one line per household.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.
