Good to know
Frequently asked
questions.
Are these guaranteed leads?+
No. Building Ahead highlights relevant local planning opportunities before work starts. It does not promise that a homeowner is seeking quotes or that a job will be won.
Where does the information come from?+
Each item is curated from publicly available council planning records. A real report would link straight to the application on the council’s public planning website so you can check the details yourself. Building Ahead is independent and is not affiliated with East Lindsey District Council.
Which areas are covered?+
East Lindsey in Lincolnshire is the live pilot area. Lincoln, Boston, North Kesteven, South Kesteven, West Lindsey and Greater Manchester are planned future areas. Builders can register interest in one tap, and we will only launch coverage where there is genuine demand.
What will the free sample include?+
A short example report showing the format and the kind of extension and loft opportunities we would select. There is no payment and no commitment.
Can I cancel?+
Yes. If the service goes live after validation, the proposed price is £19.99 per month, cancel anytime.
