Tarson works with planning consultancies, developers, housebuilders and local authorities across the UK. We regularly support employers hiring for Planning Director roles in the London area, where demand remains consistently strong across development management, strategic planning, regeneration, mixed‑use schemes and major infrastructure.
Planning Director responsibilities typically include leading planning teams, overseeing major development portfolios, managing high‑value client relationships, shaping planning strategy, coordinating multi‑disciplinary consultant teams, advising on development feasibility, supporting appeals, and contributing to public consultations. Many London‑based roles also involve negotiating large‑scale development proposals, inputting into design reviews, sustainability assessments, transport considerations, heritage impact work and strategic development planning.
If you are an experienced planning professional seeking senior‑level leadership opportunities, exposure to high‑profile projects or a move into consultancy, development or local government, Tarson can connect you with employers actively hiring in the London market.
