Tarson supports employers across the East Midlands with recruitment for Associate‑level planners across consultancy, development, and strategic land sectors. The region’s planning landscape is shaped by major growth corridors, regeneration programmes, and significant infrastructure investment, creating consistent demand for planners who can manage complex projects and provide strategic planning advice.
Typical responsibilities for Associate Planners include overseeing mixed portfolios of applications, preparing planning statements and supporting documents, coordinating multidisciplinary project teams, promoting strategic land through the planning system, and advising clients on development strategy and site potential. The East Midlands features a diverse planning context, including urban extensions, logistics and distribution hubs, transport‑led growth, rural settlement planning, and regeneration of former industrial areas. Planners in the region often work on projects linked to major transport infrastructure, housing delivery targets, and the revitalisation of key town centres.
With continued investment across Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, and surrounding areas, opportunities frequently arise for planners seeking progression or new challenges. Tarson encourages planners interested in future roles across the East Midlands to submit their CVs for consideration as new opportunities become available.
