UK, UK, United Kingdom tdm recruitment Full time

I am working with one of the leading privately owned strategic land promoters and house builders that is looking to strengthen the team with a head of planning to be based out of their south west office.


You will report directly into the group strategic land and planning director but work autonomously on managing existing planning applications through outlined and detailed consents. You will oversee a team of 3 but work closely with the land buyers.
