The Role: This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Development Management professional to support a busy Local Planning Authority during a period of demand. The successful candidate will be responsible for managing a varied caseload of planning applications, providing professional planning advice, preparing reports and recommendations, and working closely with applicants, agents and internal stakeholders. You will need to be confident working independently, managing your own workload, and providing high-quality planning advice within a Local Authority environment.

• Strong experience managing and determining planning applications




• Ability to work independently and manage a caseload effectively




• Experience engaging with applicants, agents and key stakeholders




• Full UK driving licence required for site visits
