Town Planner
Central London | Independent Planning Consultancy
If you’re currently working as a Development Management or Policy Planning Officer within a Local Planning Authority and have been considering a move into consultancy, this could be an excellent opportunity to make that transition.
PropSource Consulting is exclusively supporting a growing independent planning consultancy in Central London as they continue to expand their planning team. They’re looking to appoint a Town Planner and are particularly keen to speak with planners from local authorities who are looking for greater project variety, client exposure and long-term career progression.
Applications are also welcomed from planners already working within private consultancy.

You’ll work across a diverse portfolio of projects, including strategic residential developments, mixed-use schemes and multiple GLA referable applications throughout London and the South of England.
You’ll have the opportunity to:
- Manage planning applications from inception through to determination.
- Prepare planning appraisals, reports and planning strategies.
- Work directly with developers, landowners and a broad range of private sector clients.
- Develop your project management skills with support from experienced Associates and Directors.
- Gain exposure to major development projects and complex planning issues across London and the South East.
Why Join?
- High-quality projects with genuine variety.
- A supportive environment for planners making the transition from local authority into consultancy.
- A growing consultancy where progression is based on ability, not waiting for vacancies.
- A collaborative, low-hierarchy culture where your ideas and contributions are genuinely valued.
- Direct exposure to senior leadership and clients from day one.
- A dynamic, social team with regular events, including monthly Sip & Share sessions and a weekly run club.
- A clear route for progression, with a strong track record of promoting from within.
