Senior Planner Review

I am a town planner. My day to day job involves writing planning statements, letters and representations to Local Plan consultations. My job is to help clients gain planning permission for development sites.

Before working at Savills I didn't know anything about planning. Now, I have a strong understanding of the planning system and have developed my project management skills.

I enjoy my job and find the industry interesting and constantly changing.

The apprenticeship is very well structured.

Savills provides a good internal support system for completing the apprenticeship.

I found LSBU less supportive and had numerous issues with them as a provider.

Everything we learnt at university was interesting and I have broadly applied to my job. There were some good practical modules.

I am involved with the rugby team, football team and women's network.

Yes

I enjoy my job and feel very supported by my colleagues.

Make sure you understand Savills's values and the planning system before applying as this will support you throughout the application process.
