Development Management Planner – Cambridge
Cambridgeshire, East of England
This role offers an opportunity to join a busy planning team handling a wide range of development proposals across Cambridge’s fast‑moving development landscape. The position is well suited to planners who enjoy balancing technical assessment with proactive engagement, particularly in an area experiencing sustained growth. The area is experiencing increased activity around strategic housing, transport‑led growth, and university expansion, all of which continue to shape the city’s evolving development pressures. These themes create a diverse caseload ranging from complex urban schemes to sensitive edge‑of‑city proposals. Key responsibilities include managing major applications, preparing committee reports, and leading pre‑application discussions with applicants, agents and internal stakeholders. The successful candidate will also support negotiations on design quality, infrastructure delivery and environmental considerations. The role includes work on projects linked to Cambridge’s regeneration corridors, where intensification, mixed‑use development and public realm improvements are central to long‑term growth strategies. Exposure to these schemes provides strong professional development and insight into strategic planning challenges. This is an excellent opportunity for planners seeking long‑term progression, a varied caseload and meaningful involvement in shaping development across one of the UK’s most dynamic urban areas.
