Senior / Associate Town Planner (MRTPI) — Major London Projects

Senior / Associate Town Planner (MRTPI) — Major London ProjectsJoin a top-tier, independent planning consultancy working on some of the most significant and complex schemes in and around London — from city-shaping regeneration and tall buildings to large, infrastructure-led projects that knit places together. With a deep pipeline and a long-standing client base, you’ll spend your time doing what you do best: planning strategy, applications, and negotiations — not chasing work.
Why this role
Do career-defining work:
High-profile, complex London schemes, including infrastructure-linked regeneration and masterplans.
Focus on the craft:
Minimal business development; the project pipeline and client relationships are already in place.
Serious influence:
Work directly with leading project teams, GLA/boroughs, heritage bodies, and key stakeholders.
Support and scale:
Join a sizeable London-centric team with the resources to deliver at pace.
What you’ll do
Lead/manage major applications (pre-app to decision), conditions/obligations, and reserved matters.
Shape planning strategy, policy positioning, and stakeholder engagement (GLA stages, borough committees, statutory consultees).
Coordinate EIA scoping/screening, technical inputs, and design development.
Prepare robust submissions: Planning Statements, SoCGs, appeal material (written reps/hearings/inquiries).
Advise on CIL/S106 heads of terms, viability interfaces, and delivery strategies.
Mentor juniors; oversee quality, programme, and risk on multiple live projects.
What you’ll bring
MRTPI (or close to achieving)
and
4–10+ years’
experience (Senior through Associate).
Strong London planning experience across complex urban sites (mixed-use, tall buildings, regeneration; infrastructure interfaces a plus).
Proven track record negotiating with LPAs, GLA, Historic England and other statutory bodies.
Excellent written work (concise, evidence-led) and confident presentation at public forums.
Commercially aware, delivery-focused, and calm under pressure.
Rewards
Competitive salary + bonus and comprehensive benefits.
Exposure to flagship London projects and blue-chip clients.
Collaborative culture with best-in-class peers and mentors.
