About the job

Job summary

The Forestry Commission is seeking an experienced and strategic planning professional to lead a newly established team dedicated to strengthening the role of trees and woodlands within the planning system. This is an exciting opportunity to influence planning policy and development decisions at national, regional and local levels, ensuring that the environmental, social and economic benefits of trees and woodlands are fully recognised as England delivers significant housing, infrastructure and economic growth.

Reporting to the Head of Planning, Infrastructure and the Built Environment, you will lead a team comprising five Area Planning Delivery Advisers and a Planning Coordinator, providing strategic direction, leadership and oversight across a diverse portfolio of planning and development activity. The team will coordinate the Forestry Commission's engagement with Spatial Development Strategies, Local Plans, Tree and Woodland Strategies, Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects (NSIPs), planning applications and other land-use change proposals, helping to secure positive outcomes for trees, woodlands and wider green infrastructure.

A key aspect of the role will be establishing and embedding this new function within the wider organisation. You will be responsible for setting priorities, developing capability, monitoring performance and driving continuous improvement, while ensuring strong alignment and effective collaboration with existing planning specialists and Area Team colleagues. Building a cohesive and integrated approach across both new and established roles will be critical to the team's success.

You will also lead the development of guidance, resources and processes that enhance the Forestry Commission's ability to fulfil its responsibilities for expanding, protecting, improving and connecting woodlands across the country, while ensuring a consistent and effective approach to planning engagement.

Through these partnerships, you will help shape plans, policies and major development proposals, ensuring that trees and woodlands are embedded as a fundamental component of sustainable growth and place-making.

This is a high-profile leadership role requiring strong planning expertise, proven experience of leading and developing teams, excellent stakeholder management skills and the ability to influence decision-making at all levels.
