Principal Planning Policy Officer – Ipswich
Ipswich, East of England
The team is expanding due to increased development activity and long‑term growth across the area, creating a need for experienced policy planners who can lead on strategic planning and evidence‑based decision making. This role sits at the heart of shaping Ipswich’s future development direction. Planners will be involved in projects linked to green belt pressure, infrastructure corridors, and logistics & commercial development, all of which are central to the emerging Local Plan and wider growth strategy. These themes require robust analysis, stakeholder engagement and clear policy formulation. The role requires experience in preparing policy evidence base, managing stakeholder engagement, and delivering design‑led regeneration through policy frameworks. The successful candidate will lead on topic papers, spatial strategy development and cross‑boundary planning discussions. Work includes contributing to Ipswich’s waterfront regeneration, where mixed‑use development, public realm improvements and employment growth form key components of long‑term planning objectives. This provides exposure to high‑profile strategic sites and multi‑agency collaboration. Ideal for planners looking to take the next step in a growing and well‑supported team, with strong opportunities to influence policy direction and contribute to major regeneration initiatives.
