For us our Chief Planning Officer is the guardian of what Swindon could be, shaping our vision, future and environment, the places where our residents, businesses and visitors live, move and thrive. With our Heart of Swindon vision, multiple large scale regeneration projects, rapidly enhancing transport and connectivity, large brownfield sites and local leadership that is fully behind a rapid and inspiring trajectory for inclusive growth, Swindon is England’s best place to explore the limits of your potential. We’ll give you the opportunity to be our spatial storyteller, weaving together narratives of land, people, history and future. From small scale local schemes to the largest Swindon wide transport, housing and infrastructure initiatives, you will be at the centre of our planning story, as a catalyst for growth and community well-being, ensuring our spaces work for the many, not the few and that our design processes are participatory, inclusive and sustainable. If you are motivated to push beyond boundaries to what the role of planner could and should be, then Swindon is the place for you.
