Planning leads for groundworkers: every new home, basement and scheme near you
New houses, housing schemes, basements and driveways near you, in your inbox the day councils publish them.
Every new house, every housing scheme and every basement starts in the ground. The developer or homeowner behind it has already applied for planning, and they need a groundworker who can start on time.
Planning Signal Leads sends you those jobs the day the council publishes them, with the site address, the applicant and the agent firm. Approvals and reserved matters show you schemes about to break ground, so you price the foundations, drainage and roads first.
The jobs you will see
New houses on single plots
Self-builds and replacement dwellings that need foundations, drainage and services from scratch.
Housing schemes
Developments of 4, 10 or 50 homes and more, with roads, sewers and plots to set out. Set a minimum size and see only these.
Reserved matters
The detailed design of a scheme about to be built. The clearest sign that diggers are coming.
Basements
Basement digs and underpinning on town houses, high value specialist groundwork.
Driveways and external works
New driveways, hardstanding and drainage on homes and commercial sites.
Commercial units and car parks
New industrial units, retail parks and car parks that need slabs, drainage and surfacing.

Why a planning lead beats a bought lead
A bought lead is a name on a form, sold to three or four firms at once. A planning lead is an owner who has paid for drawings, filed an application and put their address on the public record. They have committed to the project in writing, and they still need the people to build it.
You are not fighting a crowd for the same click. You reach the owner directly, with the full proposal in front of you, and you open the conversation knowing exactly what they want built.
Groundworkers are booked first on any build. Hear about the scheme at planning and you are on the developer's list before the tender goes out.
Approvals and reserved matters tell you which schemes are ready to start, so your diary fills with jobs that are going ahead.
Picture the week: an 18 home scheme approved on the edge of the village, two self-build plots and a basement dig in town. You price the ones that suit your plant and crew, and you are on the developer's list first.
Three steps to your first lead
Tell us the work you want
Pick your trade and add the words that describe your best jobs, from loft conversion to listed building. The more precise your words, the sharper your leads.
Set your patch
Draw a radius of 5 to 75 miles around your postcode, or cover whole councils. Add more than one area if you work in more than one place.
Win the job
Matching jobs land in your inbox in one email a day. Open the lead, make the call and win the work before anyone else has heard of it.
Everything you need to make the call
- The site address and what the owner wants to build
- The applicant, plus the agent firm and its business contact
- A direct link to the full application and drawings
Only real work reaches you. New applications and fresh approvals, never the paperwork that follows a permission and never last spring's backlog.
Work every lead to a win
Every lead lands in your pipeline. Mark it contacted when you call, quoted when you price it and won when the job is yours. You always know which owners to chase, which quotes are waiting and how much work your leads have brought in.
Get found as well as finding work
Leads comes with your free directory profile. Add your projects, photos and service area, and owners searching for your trade near them see you and the work you have done.

How do I know a job is going ahead?
Approvals and reserved matters are schemes ready to build. You see them the day they are decided.
Do I get the developer's details?
Every lead shows the applicant and the agent firm with its business contact, so you reach the people who appoint contractors.
