Welcome to Planning at Hart District Council

Hart District Council is recruiting to a range of roles across our Development Management and Enforcement teams at an important and exciting time. With increasing development pressures, this is a key moment to join us and help shape the future of the district.

Hart is a growing and prosperous area in North East Hampshire, located along the M3 corridor just beyond the London Green Belt. With high demand for development, a rich natural environment and a strong local identity, we are committed to managing growth in a way that protects what makes Hart special. We welcome well-designed, sustainable development and are strengthening our teams to meet the challenges ahead - ensuring that development is well-managed, policy is effectively implemented, and the integrity of the planning system is maintained.

The work is varied and often complex, offering the opportunity to engage with a wide range of planning matters. You will collaborate with colleagues, residents and developers to achieve positive, balanced outcomes for our communities, helping to shape both the built and natural environment.

Hart is regularly ranked among the best places to live in the UK, offering attractive villages, green spaces, excellent schools and strong transport links to London and the South Coast.

You will be joining a stable, collaborative and professional team with a shared sense of purpose. Our staff are approachable, responsive and solution-focused, and we pride ourselves on creating a supportive working environment where people can develop, progress and thrive.
