Senior Town Planner

Senior Town Planner

Are you looking for the next step in your planning career where you can work closely with a supportive team and make a real impact on a variety of projects? This smaller, family-feel consultancy is seeking a Senior Planner to join their growing team in either Milton Keynes or London.

This is a well established private planning consultancy that prides itself on strong client relationships, delivering tailored solutions, and fostering a genuine team culture. With offices in both Milton Keynes and London, the consultancy offers the best of both worlds: a close knit, collaborative environment with access to a wide range of projects across sectors.

The Role

As a Senior Planner, you'll take ownership of projects from start to finish, working with clients, local authorities, and stakeholders to deliver successful outcomes. You'll be trusted to manage a diverse workload, including:

• Preparing and submitting planning applications and appeals.
• Undertaking site appraisals and providing clear, robust planning advice.
• Engaging with clients, local authorities, and stakeholders to progress projects effectively.
• Supporting junior members of the team and contributing to the consultancy's ongoing growth.

What We're Looking For

• MRTPI qualified (or working towards accreditation at a senior level).
• Solid experience within a planning consultancy or local authority.
• Strong knowledge of planning policy and the UK planning system.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to build and maintain client relationships.
• A collaborative approach - someone who enjoys being part of a supportive team while managing their own workload.

Why Join?

• Family feel - be part of a close knit, supportive consultancy where your contribution is genuinely valued.
• Varied projects - from residential to commercial and beyond, you'll work across a broad spectrum of planning opportunities.
• Growth potential - benefit from clear career development and the chance to play a key role in shaping the consultancy's future.
• Flexibility - choose to be based in Milton Keynes or London, with opportunities to work across both offices.
