Leeds planning opportunities for builders and trades

Use Leeds planning applications to focus your research

Look for proposals that match your work: domestic extensions and loft conversions for building teams; roof alterations and replacement windows for specialist trades; or solar and heat pumps for energy businesses. Planning evidence describes a proposal, not a confirmed contract or a request for quotations.

Leeds and its wider reach

The new reach uses a 10-mile circle around Leeds city centre and includes intersecting council areas such as Bradford, Calderdale, Kirklees, North Yorkshire and Wakefield. This guide’s prefilled search focuses on Leeds. Search a neighbouring council separately for its published records; the live coverage map shows pending or delayed sources.

Check the stage of the project

Compare validation and decision dates, read the application documents and check conditions on the original council register. For larger commercial or housing proposals, architects and suppliers can review the scheme’s scope before adding it to a research shortlist.

Sources and coverage

Supplementary planning records are collected through UK PlanIt from council sources. Coverage varies by register and may include older activity. Check the live map, inventory and source dates, and use the original council register to confirm a record.
