We are proactive and passionate about planning… and also about great people. You too? Join our team. P4 Planning is an independent planning consultancy based in Castlefield at the edge of Manchester city centre. We are seeking a proactive town planner to help our clients successfully navigate the planning system. We are a small, close-knit team who love what we do. We work with people we like, we are proud of our work, and like to stay on the front foot.
Great town planning takes tenacity, inclusivity, flexibility, and some good commercial know-how ways of working that we value highly. We take responsibility for the impact we have through our work and expect the same of everyone we work with.

We work with many fantastic clients across the UK including major developers and pension funds. We work on a variety of challenging projects, often in sensitive locations at all stages of the development process. We are well versed with heritage and environmental planning and work on large and small-scale projects, from university masterplans and city centre regeneration to smaller, technically challenging sites, such as redevelopment in the Green Belt. We are a tight knit team of planners that continues to punch above our weight – something which has consistently been recognised by the industry over the last few years through various awards and nominations. We are selective with and look to build long-standing relationships based on trust and shared values. We have made a conscious decision to remain independent and focus our efforts purely on helping navigate the complex planning system.
