Planner

Are you an experienced residential planner, with a proven background delivering applications for medium to large scale housing developments? Are you looking for a secure and long-term role with a company who are committed to delivering new homes in the Devon and Somerset area for the foreseeable future? Working for a privately owned and successful developer in Exeter, who have a new requirement for a residential planner to join them! Now is a great time to join due to recent positive changes and an exciting land bank ahead! Reporting to the director, you will lead on the submission and preparation of new planning applications, directly or via external consultants, work on reserve matters and largely change of use applications whilst running appeals. You will instruct, manage and monitor external consultants, work collaboratively with internal and external teams, and advise on planning options and strategic feasibility. Experience in all of the above is required, particularly ‘change of use’ applications! Ideally, you will be a member of RPTI or have a relevant town and planning degree, but this is not essential. Strong planning knowledge is required, and you should be well versed in the system as well as local authority policies. Excellent written and verbal communication skills are essential, along with established connections and contacts within the local network. You will have the capability to challenge planning views and decisions, and be a natural problem solver who can prioritise and multitask, adding value to the immediate and wider teams. Both developer and consultancy backgrounds will be considered. A highly competitive salary is on offer which will be dependent on experience, along with a lucrative package and benefits! Job Title:
