You:
- Planning or development background, ideally residential, strategic land, mixed-use or care
- Strong working knowledge of the UK planning system
- Confident coordinating external consultants and technical teams

- Basic salary up to £70,000
- Performance-related bonus
- 25 days holiday plus bank holidays, rising with service
