Senior Town Planner - #2172631

Role: Senior Town Planner

Location: Leeds City Centre

Salary: Up to 46k DOE

My client is looking for a talented Town Planner to join their dynamic and forward thinking team. I'm keen to speak with individuals from both the public and private sectors who are either at Planner level and looking to step up to Senior and already established Seniors Town Planners.

This is a real opportunity to make an impact on a business, where you're able to lead on your own projects, be involved with client meetings and business development, your voice to be heard in a friendly and approachable office that don't take themselves too seriously.

You’ll have the opportunity to work on a diverse range of projects across predominantly residential and commercial with the odd ad-hoc leisure, retail or hotel development.

Responsibilities:

• Oversee and manage planning applications for various development projects, including residential, commercial, and mixed-use schemes.
• Prepare and submit planning applications, coordinating supporting documents, managing consultant contributions, and responding to local authority inquiries.
• Lead pre-application discussions and negotiate with local planning authorities and key stakeholders.
• Draft planning statements, conduct policy reviews, and produce supporting reports to justify proposed developments.
• Manage and support planning appeals, including preparing appeal statements and collaborating with legal teams.

You will have:

• Demonstrated town planning experience in either the public or private sector.
• Strong problem solving and analytical skills.
• Exceptional communication and organisational abilities.
• Meticulous attention to detail with a focus on accuracy.
• Proven ability to collaborate and negotiate effectively with local authorities, stakeholders, and clients.
• A proactive mindset with commercial awareness in planning consultancy.
• Flexible, creative, and solution oriented approach.

What's in it for you?

• A role in a dynamic business with direct exposure to diverse clients and projects
• The chance to make a real impact and grow your career with support from experienced colleagues
• A competitive rewards package and flexible working opportunities
• 25 days annual leave plus Christmas office closure
• An attractive bonus scheme with multiple payments over the year (believe me, I've done my research!)
• Payment of professional fees
• Regular socials. Think, the races, cocktail making classes, summer parties etc.
• A welcoming office in Leeds, with hybrid working options available (2/3 days in the office)

If this sounds like the right fit for you, get in touch!
