Planning Officer – Darlington
Darlington, North East
Tarson partners with employers across the area to help shape upcoming projects and long‑term planning activity. Darlington continues to attract investment linked to regeneration and infrastructure improvements, creating opportunities for planners at all levels.
Growth is being driven by university expansion, logistics and commercial development, and strategic housing activity across County Durham. The area also experiences demand linked to heritage areas and rural development around the wider region.
The role often involves managing major applications, preparing committee reports, and supporting viability negotiations. Planners with experience in handling enforcement investigations and managing stakeholder engagement will find a varied and rewarding caseload.
Darlington’s planning landscape includes town centre regeneration, transport‑linked development, and wider county‑level growth corridors. Officers working here engage with both urban intensification and rural development challenges.
Tarson maintains ongoing relationships with employers planning new development phases and future recruitment needs across the North East.
