There’s more than one reason why we believe Central Bedfordshire is a great place to live and work. Our attractive market towns and beautiful villages surrounded by stunning countryside, all boosted by a prime location, great transport links and a high performing economy are all part of what makes us great.

Our Local Plan has always been about more than planning just for homes and jobs. It’s about creating communities. This means planning for new and improved roads and transport infrastructure; and new community facilities and services, such as schools, nurseries, shops, sport and leisure facilities.

We believe we can deliver up to 20,000 new homes over the next 20 years and this level of growth is sustainable. This is in addition to the 23,000 homes that are already allocated or have planning permission.

This is an exciting opportunity to shape the future of a number of large scale new developments and influence what they could bring to the area for its residents and economy.

You’ll have a degree or masters in Town Planning (or related subject), with significant Development Management experience dealing with large scale, complex planning applications. With demonstrable project management experience, you will be confident communicating with all level of stakeholders of grand scale applications and have highly effective negotiation skills.
