2,200 planning officers needed.
300 pledged by government.

You don't need to be a mathematician to spot the problem. 📉

Local planning authorities are stretched to breaking point. 80% are operating below full capacity. Nine in ten councils are struggling to recruit.

And from this year, funding restrictions mean up to 200 fewer planners will enter the profession annually.

All while the pressure to deliver 1.5 million new homes keeps building.

Marks Consulting Partners works with planning teams across the country who are navigating this every single day. If your team needs support, we'd love to help.

The rules have changed. 👇

Rigid job specs. Tick-box CVs. Role-based hiring that moves too slowly for what public sector organisations actually need right now.

The CIPD's latest data shows public sector recruitment is picking up — but the teams getting it right are thinking differently. Skills over titles. Capability over credentials. Potential over perfection.

It's an approach Marks Consulting Partners has championed for years — and it's why 96% of our clients come back to us.

Thinking about your next hire or your next move in 2026? Let's talk.

Something worth talking about this week…

The UK needs 1,710 new surveyors every single year until 2029. That's a huge number; and right now, the profession simply isn't keeping up.

With the Building Safety Act, stricter environmental standards and 1.5 million new homes needed by 2029, the people already in the field are being stretched further than ever.

So we want to know what YOU think 👇
What's the biggest barrier to getting more people into surveying?

🎓 Not enough graduates choosing the profession
💼 A lack of visible career pathways
📋 Regulatory complexity putting people off
🏗️ Simply not enough awareness of how varied the role can be

Let's get the conversation going; drop your thoughts in the comments!
