Urban regeneration at its best puts communities at the centre of the process — and the planners who lead that work combine policy expertise with genuine engagement skills and a commitment to inclusive growth.

At Architecture Social, we partner with community-focused planning practices, local authorities, housing associations and regeneration delivery bodies working on area-based transformation programmes across London and the South East. Our clients regularly brief us on their need for Town Planners who bring both the technical policy knowledge and the stakeholder engagement skills to drive meaningful regeneration outcomes. We maintain active shortlists so that when these purpose-driven roles surface, the best candidates are connected with them promptly.

What Our Clients Typically Ask For:

• Town Planners experienced in preparing supplementary planning documents, area action plans and neighbourhood frameworks
• Professionals skilled in planning policy analysis, site capacity assessments and masterplan feasibility reviews
• Candidates confident facilitating community engagement workshops, public consultation events and co-design sessions
• Planners experienced in preparing neighbourhood plans in collaboration with community groups and parish councils
• Individuals who advise on affordable housing viability, Section 106 negotiations and CIL strategy
• Professionals who review development proposals against local plan policies and produce planning strategy reports for regeneration programmes
• RTPI chartered planners or those nearing chartership with a passion for community-led planning and experience working with local authorities, housing associations or development trusts

If your planning expertise helps shape places that genuinely serve their communities, we want to hear from you.
