Senior Planning Officer

I'm currently working closely with a Nottinghamshire Council who are looking for an experienced Development Management Planning Officer to provide additional capacity within their Planning Service.

This is a delivery-focused role for someone who can hit the ground running, take ownership of a caseload and determine applications with minimal supervision.

Role details

• Planning Officer - Development Management
• 37 hours per week, Monday-Friday
• Initial 3-month contract, with potential for extension
• Hybrid working, with office attendance required for site visits, meetings and other work as necessary
• Start: ASAP
• Rate: Negotiable - please let me know your expectations
• IR35: Inside

The caseload is likely to include

• Householder and minor applications
• Rural and agricultural applications
• Small/medium-scale residential schemes, generally up to 30 dwellings
• Pre-application enquiries
• Appeals and associated casework
• Committee reports where required

They are looking for someone with

• Recent UK Local Authority Development Management experience
• Strong application determination experience
• The ability to manage a busy caseload independently
• Excellent report-writing and decision-making skills
• Experience using Uniform / IDOX - essential
• A delivery-focused approach and the ability to work with minimal supervision

This is not a management or policy role - they specifically want an experienced Development Management planner who enjoys being hands-on and progressing applications through to determination.

Thanks so much, I look forward to hearing from you.

Steve
