# "Come with me and you'll be

In a world of pure imagination

Take a look and you'll see

Into your imagination" #

Old Oak Common is the site of the largest regeneration initiative in West London. The arrival of High Speed 2 and Crossrail will bring a new superstation interchange. This exciting once-in-a-generation happening will unlock over 200 hectares of development opportunity, where we’ll forge a vibrant new city quarter. This will create 24,000 new homes and 55,000 new jobs - key to the Mayor of London’s growth targets. You’ll join the Greater London Authority’s new Mayoral Development Corporation (Transitional) Unit, which will drive strategic planning and preparation.

# "We'll begin with a spin

Trav'ling in the world of my creation

What we'll see will defy

Explanation" #

To join us, you will need a degree in town planning and RTPI professional membership, or equivalent. Proven post-qualification experience in a planning team or similar department is vital.   You will need to demonstrate good communication, negotiation and report writing skills. Crucially, your collaborative approach equips you to work with a number of London boroughs, transport and infrastructure agencies and developers/landowners.

# "If you want to view paradise

Simply look around and view it

Anything you want to, do it

Want to change the world, there's nothing to it" #

Your knowledge spans strategic spatial planning issues, legal processes and policy trends. We expect you to have a successful track record in either plan making, the development management of large complex planning applications, or strategic scale infrastructure planning and delivery. Knowledge of Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) would also be an advantage.

# "There is no life I know

To compare with pure imagination

Living there, you'll be free

If you truly wish to be" #
