Full job description

Grade: 2–3

Reports to: Senior Environmental Planner / Team Lead

Location: Cheltenham – Hybrid working available

Role Purpose

Lepus Consulting works extensively across England supporting the development of Local Plans — the strategic blueprints that shape how towns, cities, and rural areas evolve over the next 15 years.

Local Plans are far more than documents; they are instruments of change that influence climate action, housing delivery, infrastructure development, biodiversity protection, green infrastructure and community wellbeing.

As an Environmental Planning Consultant, you will support the preparation and review of Local Plans and environmental policies, helping our clients navigate the complex planning reforms underway. This role offers a unique opportunity to be involved in placemaking at scale — working on projects that shape the future of communities across the country.

Key Responsibilities

Support the preparation, review, and consultation stages of Local Plans and related environmental policies.
Assist with Sustainability Appraisals (SA) and Strategic Environmental Assessments (SEA) to ensure compliance and embed sustainability principles.
Conduct research, data collection, and policy analysis to inform planning and environmental assessments.
Interpret and manage spatial data using GIS software (e.g., QGIS, ArcGIS) to support evidence bases and mapping requirements.
Prepare and help present reports, consultation materials, and technical documents for clients, stakeholders, and the public.
Liaise with local planning authorities, statutory consultees, developers, and community groups as part of project delivery.
Maintain awareness of ongoing planning reforms, government housing targets (e.g., 1.5 million homes over five years), and environmental legislation.
Participate in professional development activities and contribute to knowledge sharing within the team.

Required Skills and Competencies

Degree (or equivalent) in Town & Country Planning, Environmental Planning, Environmental Science, or a related discipline.
Working towards or holding RTPI membership is desirable.
Competency in spatial interpretation and use of GIS software such as QGIS or ArcGIS.
Understanding of the UK planning system, especially Local Plan preparation and environmental assessments.
Strong research, analytical, and written communication skills.
Good organisational skills, with the ability to manage workload and meet deadlines under supervision.
Team player with a proactive attitude and eagerness to learn and contribute. Performance Expectations
Deliver accurate, well-researched, and timely project support to enable successful Local Plan and environmental policy outcomes.
Demonstrate continuous improvement in professional skills and understanding of planning reforms and environmental best practice.
Foster positive relationships with clients, stakeholders, and internal teams.
Support a collaborative and inclusive work environment that encourages innovation and shared success.

Why Join Lepus Consulting?

Hybrid working options to support work-life balance.
Opportunity to work on projects that directly impact climate resilience, housing delivery, biodiversity, and sustainable development.
Join a friendly, supportive team passionate about making a difference.
Work with a consultancy that operates nationally and is at the forefront of planning reform.

Application deadline: Open until filled.
