About this role

Help shape the future of one of the country’s most varied boroughs

From historic city streets and major regeneration sites to thriving towns, rural communities and protected countryside, planning in Cheshire West and Chester is rarely ordinary.

We’re looking for a motivated and experienced planner to join our friendly and supportive Development Management team. You’ll take ownership of a varied caseload, apply your professional judgement to interesting and challenging proposals, and have the autonomy to make decisions that deliver positive outcomes for communities across the borough.
