We are currently looking for a Planner to join our planning team on a full-time fixed-term basis, to manage planning applications and appeals for private residential projects on behalf of our clients.
Our Planning Team exists so our clients have the best in class guidance to ensure their projects respond to the risks of the planning process, while maximising the opportunity to realise their dreams of a happy home. This is achieved by working closely with our stakeholders including our in-house designers to produce proposals, and proactively engaging with local authority case officers to ensure we drive forward decision making.

- Acting as the primary point of contact for internal and external stakeholders, triaging queries and allocating actions as needed
- Maintaining timely, proactive correspondence with local planning authorities to maximise the chances of a successful outcome
- Keeping clients informed and engaged at each key stage of the planning process
- Collaborating with our in-house planners to manage and progress casework through to decision
What we're looking for:
- At least 12 months' development management experience within a UK local planning authority or planning consultancy
- Strong working knowledge of the UK planning system, particularly Permitted Development Rights and Householder applications
- Highly organised, with strong project management skills and the ability to juggle multiple workstreams
- The ability to work independently, managing your own time, deadlines and pipeline of cases
- Open to giving and receiving feedback, and comfortable both challenging and being challenged
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, confident working directly with clients
- A genuinely customer-focused approach
