Principal Policy Planner (Wiltshire)
Wiltshire, South Central
Tarson works with employers across Wiltshire to support recruitment for Principal Policy Planners and senior policy specialists. Wiltshire’s planning environment is shaped by a mix of rural settlements, market towns, heritage assets, military estates, and strategic growth areas, creating ongoing demand for planners who can lead policy development and support long‑term spatial planning objectives.
Typical responsibilities include preparing and updating Local Plan documents, managing evidence‑base studies, drafting policy frameworks, coordinating public consultations, and working with stakeholders across housing, infrastructure, environmental planning, and economic development. Policy planners in Wiltshire often engage with themes such as rural housing delivery, settlement boundary reviews, conservation area management, landscape protection, and the integration of major infrastructure projects. The county’s unique planning context includes significant heritage constraints, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and the influence of MOD land, all of which shape policy direction and development strategy.
With Local Plan updates and strategic planning work continuing across the South West, demand remains strong for experienced policy professionals. Tarson invites planners seeking future policy‑focused opportunities in Wiltshire to submit their CVs for consideration across upcoming roles in the area.
