Senior Development Management Planner (Manchester)
Greater Manchester, North West
Tarson supports employers across the Manchester area as demand for experienced Development Management planners continues to rise. The city’s ongoing regeneration, major mixed‑use schemes, and strategic housing delivery targets mean organisations frequently seek planners who can manage complex caseloads and contribute to high‑profile development projects.
This type of role typically involves handling a varied mix of applications, from residential infill and commercial redevelopments to large‑scale regeneration proposals. Senior planners are often expected to lead on pre‑application discussions, negotiate with applicants and agents, prepare detailed committee reports, and support junior officers within busy DM teams. Strong communication skills and confidence in presenting at committee are highly valued.
Manchester’s planning landscape is shaped by continued investment in transport infrastructure, city‑centre intensification, and brownfield redevelopment. Planners working in the area often engage with design quality, viability considerations, heritage impacts, and sustainable development principles. The city’s growth trajectory ensures a steady pipeline of work across both public and private sector employers.
Tarson is regularly approached by organisations seeking Senior Development Management Planners for upcoming opportunities across Greater Manchester. Planners interested in future roles are encouraged to share their CV for confidential consideration.
