Senior Town Planner | Reading

I'm currently working with a growing property and planning consultancy in Reading who are looking to bring an experienced Senior Town Planner into their team.

The business has an exciting pipeline of work and is looking for someone who can take ownership of projects, build strong client relationships and contribute to the continued success of the planning department.

Their workload covers a broad range of sectors, including residential, commercial, mixed-use and strategic land development.

What does the role involve?

  • Managing planning applications and appeals from inception through to determination.
  • Preparing planning statements, reports and development appraisals.
  • Providing planning advice to developers, landowners and investors.
  • Reviewing planning policy and identifying development opportunities.
  • Liaising with local authorities and external consultants.
  • Managing client relationships and supporting business development.

What are they looking for?

  • MRTPI qualified or working towards chartership.
  • Previous experience within a planning consultancy or local authority.
  • Strong knowledge of the UK planning system.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Confidence managing projects and working directly with clients.
  • A motivated individual looking for their next career challenge.

The Package:

  • Salary between £42,000–£52,000 depending on experience.
  • Hybrid working arrangements.
  • Competitive pension and benefits.
  • Professional membership fees covered.
  • Ongoing training and development.
  • Clear opportunities to progress within the business.

The team is friendly, collaborative and genuinely passionate about the work they deliver. It's a great opportunity to join a consultancy where you'll have plenty of autonomy and exposure to some interesting projects.

If you're a Senior Planner considering a move, or simply interested in understanding what opportunities are currently available, I'd be happy to have a confidential chat.
