Common Types of Building Work Found in Planning Applications

BuildAlert highlights planning applications across Leicestershire that lead to local building jobs. These are the most common project types submitted by homeowners:

Home Extensions

Single- and double-storey builds for kitchens, rear extensions, and open-plan living spaces.

Loft Conversions & Dormers

Add bedrooms or bathrooms with structural roof changes and internal reworks.

Garage & Outbuilding Conversions

Convert existing garages or barns into living space — ideal for full-trade teams.

Garden Buildings & Annexes

Includes garden offices, gyms, studios and self-contained annexes — often require groundwork and electrics.

New-Build Houses

Infill plots and custom builds needing full delivery — from foundations to final fix.

Change of Use Projects

Shops, agricultural buildings and commercial units being converted into homes.

Roof Alterations

Re-roofs, dormers, skylights, and structural roof changes that involve builders and roofers alike.

Internal Reconfigurations

Knock-throughs, steel installations, and layout changes — typically require a general builder.

With BuildAlert, you'll see these job types as soon as they're filed with the council — long before they go on the market.
