I'm supporting a well-established, independent planning consultancy with a strong regional presence that is looking to appoint a Senior Town Planner into its Cheltenham team. This is a key hire and an opportunity to step into a visible, influential role within a respected practice.

The Cheltenham office continues to grow and offers a close-knit, professional environment with genuine scope to shape projects and mentor others.

Key elements of the role include:

Managing a varied caseload of planning applications and appeals

Providing clear, confident planning advice to clients

Leading on project strategy and coordination

Supporting and mentoring junior planners

Contributing to business development and client relationships

What they are looking for:

Proven experience in a consultancy or local authority planning role

Strong knowledge of the UK planning system

Confident communicator with good commercial awareness

Someone who enjoys responsibility and wants to influence outcomes
