Job Description:

Planning Manager

Leicester

Up to £70,000 + Package

I’m working with a major national housebuilder on a Planning Manager hire for their Leicester office. Big business, strong pipeline, 5-star rated.

You’ll be managing a mixed portfolio of traditional new build schemes across Leicestershire, Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire. Some well-established sites, some fresh out of the land pipeline. The full breadth of residential planning – outline applications, full applications and householder matters, reserved matters submissions and condition discharge.

What the role looks like:

  • Leading planning applications from submission through to consent
  • Discharging conditions on live sites to keep build programmes moving
  • Pre-app engagement with LPAs across the region
  • Supporting land appraisals and strategic promotion work
  • Mentoring junior members of the team

What you need:

  • MRTPI qualified
  • Solid residential housebuilding or development background
  • Confident managing multiple schemes and stakeholders simultaneously
  • Midlands planning policy knowledge – useful but not a dealbreaker

Up to £70k basic, car or allowance, bonus, pension and the package you’d expect from a business of this size.
