Planning Manager
Warwickshire
Up to £70,000 plus car allowance and package
I’m working with one of the UK’s leading strategic land promoters on a Planning Manager hire. They take greenfield sites through promotion and planning to deliver consented land for new homes, and the pipeline is strong enough that they need another pair of hands running sites.
This is strategic land planning proper. Long-game sites, Local Plan promotion, and the satisfaction of seeing a blank field turn into consent.
The role:
• Take ownership of a portfolio of strategic sites from first appraisal through to residential consent
• Prepare and manage outline and detailed planning applications
• Appoint and coordinate consultant teams and keep submissions on time and on budget
• Promote sites through the Local Plan process and track emerging policy
• Run appeals, hearings and inquiries alongside appointed advisors
• Lead consultation with councils, councillors and local communities
• Negotiate conditions and Section 106 to protect viability
You:
• A few solid years in planning, ideally strategic land, consultancy, residential development or a housebuilder
• MRTPI, or well on the way
• Strong working knowledge of the planning system, the NPPF and the plan-led process
• A track record of getting applications through to a positive outcome
• Confident in a room with officers, councillors or residents
• Comfortable running several sites and consultant teams at once
The package:
• Up to £70,000 depending on experience
• Car allowance
• Full benefits package
• Genuine support towards chartership and a proper development plan
A business with a serious pipeline and a habit of keeping hold of its people.
