Tarson works with planning consultancies, developers, housebuilders and local authorities across the UK. We regularly support employers hiring for Planning Director roles in the Cambridge area, where demand remains consistently strong across strategic development, mixed‑use regeneration, science and research campus expansion, and major residential growth.
Planning Director responsibilities typically include leading high‑value planning strategies, overseeing multi‑disciplinary project teams, managing key client relationships, shaping development and land promotion strategy, preparing detailed planning statements, supporting appeals, and contributing to Local Plan representation. Cambridge‑based roles often involve large‑scale urban extensions, innovation‑focused employment development, heritage‑sensitive regeneration and transport‑led growth corridors linked to the wider Oxford‑Cambridge growth arc.
If you are an experienced planning professional seeking senior leadership responsibility, commercial influence or a move into consultancy, development or local government, Tarson can connect you with employers actively hiring in the Cambridge market.
