I'm currently working with a well-established and highly regarded planning consultancy that's looking to appoint a Senior Town Planner to strengthen their growing Leeds team.

This is a great opportunity for an experienced planner who wants to work on a diverse and high-quality workload, with real scope to influence projects, build client relationships, and progress their career within a supportive, professional environment.

You'll be joining a collaborative planning team working across a wide range of sectors, including residential, commercial, mixed-use and strategic land. The role offers a strong balance of autonomy and support, making it ideal for someone ready to step into a senior position or consolidate their experience at this level.

Key Responsibilities
  • Managing and delivering planning applications and appeals from inception to determination

  • Providing planning advice to clients, landowners and developers

  • Leading smaller projects and supporting junior team members

  • Engaging with local authorities, stakeholders and consultants

  • Contributing to business development and client relationship management

About You
  • MRTPI qualified (or working towards with significant experience)

  • Strong experience within UK town planning (private or public sector)

  • Confident managing your own caseload and client relationships

  • Commercially aware with excellent written and verbal communication skills

  • A proactive, team-focused approach

What's On Offer
  • Competitive salary depending on experience

  • Clear and realistic career progression

  • Hybrid and flexible working

  • Supportive, people-focused culture

  • Exposure to varied and interesting planning work across the region

If you're a Senior Town Planner in Leeds (or looking to relocate) and want to explore a role that offers both professional challenge and genuine career development, I'd be keen to have a confidential conversation.
