Tarson supports employers across Liverpool and the wider North West with ongoing recruitment for experienced Development Management planners. Liverpool continues to undergo major transformation, with large‑scale regeneration programmes, strategic housing delivery, and commercial redevelopment shaping the city’s growth trajectory. This creates sustained demand for planners who can manage complex caseloads, support decision‑making processes, and contribute to high‑quality development outcomes.
Typical responsibilities for Senior DM Planners include handling a varied portfolio of applications, providing detailed pre‑application advice, negotiating Section 106 contributions, preparing committee reports, and working closely with developers, architects, and multidisciplinary teams. The Liverpool planning landscape is diverse, covering waterfront regeneration, heritage‑led development, brownfield intensification, transport‑linked growth, and the revitalisation of former industrial areas. Planners in the city often engage with conservation areas, tall‑building zones, and strategic regeneration frameworks that guide long‑term development.
With continued investment across Merseyside, opportunities regularly arise for experienced DM planners seeking progression or new challenges. Tarson encourages planners interested in future roles across Liverpool to submit their CVs for consideration as new opportunities emerge throughout the region.
