London is an iconic city. With Spatial Planning at the heart of major planning and investment decisions, we are responsible for helping ensure it stays that way. We are looking for people with big ideas and a passion for planning to help shape the future of the Capital.

It is an exciting time to join the Spatial Planning department. We work to shape London’s future proactively by supporting sustainable development in London and ensuring good future public transport provision. We lead on the integration of land use planning and transport to support the Mayor’s objective of ‘Good Growth’. We develop policies through the London Plan, Opportunity Area Planning Frameworks and Local Plans, along with guidance to make sure they are successfully implemented.

We identify and make the case for transport infrastructure to support growth and secure funding from new developments. We advise on the design of the urban realm. We contribute to the planning and delivery of successful major developments by realising improvements to, and mitigating the impacts on, the transport system and the environment.

We support the Mayor's Transport Strategy and deliver good growth for London. We do this by helping planning applicants, the rest of TfL, the Greater London Authority (GLA), boroughs, and other stakeholders to combine land use and transport planning.

You will be working at the cutting edge of the relationship between development and transport. You will make a valuable contribution to exciting and innovative proposals in London, which are often of national significance, helping you develop an improved understanding of the planning process.

Opportunities to become a Spatial Planning Assistant at TfL are expected to be available in a number of teams including Development Management and London Plan & Planning Obligations.
