Residential Development | Hampstead.

£45,000 – £50,000 + Package.

I’m working exclusively with a design-led, sustainability-focused residential developer to appoint a Planner to the business.

This is an opportunity within cash rich, scaling business where you will gain full development exposure, increased responsibility and a clear progression pathway as the platform expands.

The business is delivering low-carbon, design-led housing schemes across London and the Home Counties and is entering a significant period of growth. Based from their Hampstead office, this appointment will sit within a small, high-performing team where contribution is visible and progression is merit-led.

The Role

As part of the development function, you will support planning activity across live and future residential schemes. This position offers genuine cradle-to-grave exposure — from site identification and feasibility through to application, determination and delivery.

Key responsibilities include:

• Supporting site appraisals, planning strategy and early-stage feasibility work.
• Assisting with the preparation, coordination and submission of residential planning applications.
• Liaising with local authorities, consultants and external stakeholders.
• Monitoring local plan policy, land opportunities and planning risk.
• Supporting appeals, condition discharge and ongoing planning compliance.
• Contributing to sustainability-led planning narratives and environmental positioning.
• Working closely with Land, Technical and Construction teams to ensure alignment throughout delivery.

What They’re Looking For

• 2+ years’ experience within residential planning
• Background within local authority, consultancy or developer environment.
• Ambitious, commercially aware and keen to develop within a growing business.
• Comfortable operating within a small team environment with high visibility and responsibility.

Why This Opportunity?

This is an excellent opportunity for an Assistant Planner or Graduate Planner looking to step into a role with:

• Full lifecycle exposure rather than a narrow application-focused remit.
• Direct access to senior decision-makers.
• Clear and accelerated career progression as the business scales.
• A sustainability-first development model embedded at the core of the company.
