This is a rare opportunity to work at the forefront of regional planning in Wales. As Principal Planner, you will lead complex and high-profile elements of the Strategic Development Plan, helping to shape the long-term spatial vision for the Cardiff Capital Region. You will take ownership of major policy workstreams, manage technical evidence, and help deliver integrated solutions to some of the region’s biggest challenges — including housing growth, transport integration, climate resilience, infrastructure delivery, economic development, and sustainable placemaking.
You will work closely with senior officers, elected members, Welsh Government, Transport for Wales, local authorities, consultants, and key regional stakeholders to help deliver a robust and ambitious regional strategy. The role offers significant professional autonomy and the opportunity to influence strategic decision-making at the highest level.Vacancy posted 9 days ago
