Job description
Town Planner
Are you a Town Planner looking for the next big step in your career? This is a chance to join one of the UK's most established and respected housing developers - a company with a strong track record, a busy pipeline of work, and ambitious growth plans.
The business has been building homes and communities for decades and is recognised for delivering high-quality, sustainable developments. With continued expansion, they're looking to grow their planning function, and now is the perfect time for you to get on board.
As a Town Planner, you'll be joining a small, supportive planning team of three, but you'll also work closely with the land team, giving you early involvement in projects right from acquisition. Your role will be varied and challenging, giving you exposure to everything from small infill sites the company has picked up, through to large-scale hybrid applications of 1,000+ homes - complete with golf courses, local centres, and more. This is a role where no two days will be the same.
You will be:
·Producing detailed site assessments to support new land opportunities.
·Preparing, coordinating, and reviewing planning applications of all sizes.
·Drafting and reviewing Planning Statements.
·Developing and implementing planning strategies to secure successful outcomes.
·Collaborating with colleagues across land and planning to deliver results.
To succeed, you'll need:
·A degree in Town Planning (or related discipline).
·RTPI membership (or actively working towards it).
·Good knowledge of UK planning policies and procedures.
·Strong written and verbal communication skills.
·The ability to manage multiple projects with confidence and attention to detail.
·
What's in it for you? Alongside a competitive salary of £30,000 - £40,000, you'll receive a company car or car allowance, private healthcare, life cover, and the chance to develop your career with a company that invests in its people. You'll also benefit from working on a wide range of projects, giving you invaluable experience across the residential development spectrum.
This is the perfect opportunity for a Town Planner who wants variety, responsibility, and the chance to contribute to some of the most exciting residential-led schemes in the UK.
