Stop chasing junk. Scottish Trade Intel filters council planning applications for you — scoring each one 1–5 on commercial usefulness. No spam. No scams. No time-wasters. Just real work from real projects.
Every validated planning application in East Dunbartonshire (expanding to Glasgow City, East Renfrewshire, North Lanarkshire soon). We check the data daily.
Each application gets a 1–5 score. Extensions, loft conversions, demolition-and-rebuild, renewables — all ranked on real trade value, not application type.
That's it. PDF lands Monday morning. Read in 10 minutes. Call the ones you want. The work shows up in your inbox before it shows up anywhere else.
One council area. Perfect for local builders.
Two council areas. Best value for trades covering a wider patch.
Four to five council areas. Full Central Belt coverage.
If any issue feels like spam, cancel and get that week refunded. No questions asked. No auto-renewals without warning. No bait-and-switch pricing later. This service exists to save you time — if it doesn't, you shouldn't pay for it.
Directly from East Dunbartonshire Council's public planning portal. We check it daily, filter out the noise (certificates of lawfulness, tree work notifications, advertising consent), and score only the applications likely to generate commercial work for local trades.
Those platforms sell you "leads" generated by homeowners filling in web forms — often fake, always sold to multiple tradesmen, and priced per introduction (£10–£50 each). Scottish Trade Intel gives you real planning applications from the council, scored and ranked, for a flat monthly fee. You decide who to call. No bidding wars.
You still get an issue — fewer leads, same analysis. Some weeks East Dunbartonshire validates 3 applications. Some weeks 10. You'll always know what moved, even if it's light. No fake padding.
Now: East Dunbartonshire only.
June 2026: Second council area added (Glasgow City or East Renfrewshire).

Every Monday by 9am. Week ending the previous Friday. Gives you the full weekend's validated applications plus anything that came through Monday–Thursday the week before.
Cancel anytime. No lock-in. If you cancel mid-month, you keep access until the billing cycle ends, then it stops. No penalty fees.
Yes — forward the PDF to anyone you want. One subscription covers your whole team. We're not policing inboxes.
Yes. Planning applications are public record under the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Acts. We're reading the same data anyone can access on the council website — we're just filtering it, scoring it, and packaging it so you don't have to spend an hour every week doing it yourself.
