From offshore wind farms to major transport corridors, securing consent for infrastructure and energy projects demands planners who can navigate the most complex planning regimes in the country with strategic confidence.

At Architecture Social, we work with major planning and environmental consultancies, energy developers and infrastructure delivery bodies working on nationally significant projects across the UK. Our clients regularly brief us on their need for Town Planners who understand the Development Consent Order process, environmental impact assessment coordination and the stakeholder complexity inherent in large-scale infrastructure projects. We keep active shortlists to ensure the strongest candidates are introduced to these high-profile roles ahead of the market.

What Our Clients Typically Ask For:

• Town Planners experienced in preparing applications under the Town and Country Planning Act and Development Consent Order applications under the Planning Act 2008
• Professionals skilled in drafting environmental statements and coordinating with EIA specialists across ecology, heritage, noise and landscape disciplines
• Candidates confident engaging with statutory consultees including Natural England, the Environment Agency and local authorities on major infrastructure schemes
• Planners experienced in advising on compulsory purchase processes, land assembly strategies and utility diversion consents
• Individuals who prepare evidence for examinations in public and contribute to community consultation programmes
• Professionals with experience in renewable energy projects including solar, onshore wind, battery storage or hydrogen infrastructure

If your planning expertise helps deliver the infrastructure the country needs, we want to hear from you.
