Do you want to join a growing house builder where you can have impact, autonomy and career progression?
I am supporting a well-established, family-owned residential developer in Hampshire that is looking to appoint a Town Planner to join their in-house Planning Team. The business has a strong reputation for delivering thoughtfully designed homes across the South and has a healthy pipeline of sites in progress and coming forward.
The Opportunity
As Town Planner, you will play a key role in securing planning permissions for new residential developments. You will work closely with Land, Technical and Design teams to assess potential sites, prepare planning strategies, manage applications, and engage with local authorities and stakeholders.
This is a great position for someone looking to move from consultancy or to continue developing their career within a housebuilding environment.

House builder experience is highly desirable
RTPI accredited degree (or working towards chartership)
Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines
Key Responsibilities
Lead and support on planning applications, appeals and pre-app submissions
Assess new land opportunities and provide planning input on acquisitions
Build and maintain relationships with Local Authorities and external consultants
Monitor Local Plans, policy changes and identify strategic opportunities
Contribute to the design and delivery of sustainable residential communities
Why Join?
Growing developer with a strong regional reputation
Clear progression path with exposure to senior decision-makers
Supportive culture and collaborative team environment
