Norfolk, East of England
The position is ideal for planners looking to broaden their experience across major applications and regeneration projects within a historic yet rapidly evolving city. Norwich continues to balance heritage protection with ambitious growth, creating a stimulating environment for experienced planners. Recent development pressure has been driven by heritage areas, energy & renewables, and industrial intensification, resulting in a steady flow of complex applications requiring careful assessment and negotiation. These themes reflect the city’s dual focus on sustainable growth and economic diversification. The successful candidate will be involved in coordinating EIA work, supporting viability negotiations, and overseeing consultant teams on larger schemes. The role also includes contributing to design discussions, preparing detailed committee reports and advising on planning strategy for key development sites. The team is progressing schemes within Norwich’s heritage conservation areas, where sensitive design, adaptive reuse and high‑quality placemaking are essential. This provides valuable exposure to projects requiring a balance between innovation and conservation. The role offers strong professional development and involvement in high‑profile projects, making it an excellent step for planners seeking greater responsibility and influence within a supportive and well‑established team.
