Planning Manager

Leeds

£55,000 to £65,000

Increase your chances of an interview by reading the following overview of this role before making an application.

I'm working with a privately owned developer that builds out its own schemes across the UK. Land, design and construction all sit in-house, so the planning work here actually gets delivered rather than handed off. It's a funded, national pipeline in a resilient market with genuine social purpose behind it.

The role:

• Take sites from pre-application through to consent

• Manage applications, conditions and Section 106 negotiations

• Lead public consultation and community engagement on new schemes

• Present at planning committee and represent the business at appeals where needed

• Coordinate design, technical and external consultant teams

• Provide planning advice on new site acquisitions

• Own the planning strategy and risk across your own pipeline

About you:

• Solid experience managing planning applications through to consent, client-side or consultancy

• Strong working knowledge of the English planning system and the NPPF

• Confident dealing with LPAs, consultees and communities, and speaking in public forums

• Proactive, the sort who solves planning problems rather than just flagging them

• Commercially minded, with good xwzovoh judgement on strategy and risk

• RTPI membership is a plus but not essential if the experience is there

Benefits:

• Salary £55,000 to £65,000 DOE

• Car allowance

• Bonus scheme

• Contributory pension

• 25 days holiday plus bank holidays

Great option if you're at a consultancy and tired of timesheets, or client-side and after a bigger pipeline with real autonomy.
