You will take responsibility for assessing the environmental impacts of proposed planning applications, providing pre -planning advice, agreeing discharge of conditions, and compiling suitable responses and reports to the Planning Department. You may be required on occasion to carry out site visits to assess suitability of ecological assessments submitted with planning applications and liaise and negotiate with planners, solicitors, agents, applicants and members of the public over biodiversity issues.
You will advise Planning Management officers on planning applications by responding to planning consultation requests and supporting colleagues through advice on Biodiversity Net Gain, and support the Biodiversity and Nature Recovery Lead Officer and Planning Policy team by providing input and advice into the delivery of the Local Nature Recovery Strategy through Biodiversity Net Gain.
This will initially be a 12 week contract with potential to extend.
