Job Description

Job Title: Design Planning Manager
Location: Gloucestershire
Salary: £50,000 (dependent on experience)
Company Type: Bespoke House Builder – High-End Residential Developments

About Us
We are a forward-thinking, bespoke house building developer based in Gloucestershire, delivering high-quality residential schemes on large, well-considered developments. With a strong commitment to exceptional design and placemaking, our homes are crafted with detail, individuality, and community in mind.

The Opportunity
Due to sustained growth, we are seeking a Design Planning Manager to join our in-house team. This is a key role bridging design and planning, where you will lead and manage design development through RIBA Stages 1 to 5. You'll work closely with internal stakeholders, architects, and consultants to shape the design vision and ensure a smooth transition from concept to technical delivery.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the design process from early concept (RIBA Stage 1) through to construction (Stage 5)

  • Oversee and coordinate design input from architects and consultants

  • Prepare and manage planning submissions and applications in line with project timelines

  • Support the technical team post-planning with design intent and technical compliance

  • Ensure all designs are aligned with planning policies, building regulations, and the company's high standards of quality and design

  • Engage with stakeholders including local authorities, internal teams, and external design consultants

Ideal Candidate

  • Proven experience working across RIBA Stages 1–5

  • Strong design background (architecture, urban design, or similar discipline)

  • Experience working on large-scale residential developments, including both planning and technical delivery phases

  • Strong understanding of UK planning policy and building regulations

  • Excellent communication and coordination skills

  • Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines concurrently

Desirable

  • Architectural qualification (Part II or Part III) or similar design-led background

  • Experience in a developer or design consultancy environment

Why Join Us?
You'll be part of a collaborative and growing team working on some of the region's most exciting residential projects. We offer a supportive working environment, long-term career progression, and the opportunity to directly influence the design quality of every scheme we deliver.

How to Apply
Please submit your CV and a brief cover letter outlining your suitability for the role. We welcome applications from professionals who are passionate about design and making a lasting impact on the built environment.
