You will handle and oversee Regulation 3, mineral and waste management planning applications which provide the materials for growth, and delivering more sustainable waste management, some of which will require an Environmental Impact Assessment. As well as handling a complex and varied case load, you will be responsible for managing and mentoring a small team of town planners, allocating work and overseeing caseloads.

 

About you

As a Principal Planning Officer, you will have significant development management experience, a strong work ethic and excellent communication and negotiation skills. You will be able to deal with a variety of customers and have a sound background in report writing and presentations, including at Planning Committee. The successful candidates will be responsible for providing professional and technical advice to discharge the Council’s responsibilities with regard to minerals and waste planning applications.
