Planning Manager
Oxfordshire
£65,000 - £80,000
I'm working with a well-funded, family-owned SME housebuilder on a Planning Manager hire. They are genuinely acquisitive, active in both the immediate and strategic land markets, and the pipeline has grown to the point where planning needs someone running it full time.
This is the whole job, not a slice of it. Land appraisal through to consent and discharge of conditions, with a clear line to the decision makers.
The role:
- Own the planning process across the portfolio, from pre-application to discharge of conditions
- Support the land team with appraisals, risk and site specific advice during acquisition
- Appoint and manage consultant teams to programme and budget
- Build relationships with officers, councillors and local communities
- Negotiate Section 106 agreements and represent the business at committee and appeal
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You:
- A planner with solid experience from a housebuilder, developer, land promoter or consultancy
- A track record of securing residential consents
- Confident running consultants and negotiating with local authorities
- Commercially minded, with a good grasp of appraisal and viability
- MRTPI, or well on the way

The autonomy of an SME with the funding to back it up.
