The consultancy works across a diverse range of high-profile development projects, advising private clients, developers, landowners and investors on complex planning matters throughout London and the wider UK.
As a Senior Town Planner, you will play a key role in managing a varied caseload of planning projects from inception through to completion:
- Managing a portfolio of planning projects across a range of sectors and development types.
- Preparing and submitting planning applications and appeals.
- Providing strategic planning advice to clients and project teams.
- Undertaking planning appraisals and development feasibility work.
- Liaising with local planning authorities, consultants and other stakeholders.

- Managing projects, deadlines and budgets effectively.
- Supporting more junior members of the planning team.
Requirements:

- Strong knowledge of the London planning system.
- Experience managing planning applications and projects independently.
- Strong commercial awareness and client-management ability.
- The confidence to take ownership of projects and develop client relationships.
This is a particularly good opportunity for someone who wants more than simply processing planning applications. You will join a highly experienced planning team, gain exposure to interesting and complex development projects, and have the opportunity to work directly with clients and senior decision-makers. There is also a clear opportunity to develop professionally, broaden your project experience and progress your career within a growing and well-regarded private-sector planning business.
If you're an experienced Town Planner or Senior Town Planner considering your next move, I'd be keen to speak with you confidentially. Please apply with your CV or get in touch for an informal discussion about the role and the wider opportunities currently available in the London planning market.
