East Suffolk Council is an exciting place to work, delivering essential local services and making a real difference to a quarter of a million people across East Suffolk.
We currently have an exciting opportunity to join the East Suffolk Council`s growing Major Projects Planning team as a Principal Planner.
Your role:
This lead planning role will focus on the delivery of allocated strategic scale sites and supporting infrastructure. With two recently adopted Local Plans the Council is fulfilling its ambitions for growth by working to secure the timely submission of legally compliant applications, planning permissions and their implementation to meet the requirements of the Development Plan. The role will involve a considerable place shaping responsibility for several new Garden Village and Garden Neighbourhood communities for up to 2000 homes. Achieving high-quality, well-designed places will be a leading responsibility alongside addressing environmental effects and mitigation, both locally and cumulatively in the District.
You will lead the planning process for the delivery of strategic sites and Garden Neighbourhoods/Villages across the District. This includes project management across teams as part of a single Planning Team approach that will include colleagues from other organisation/bodies, as necessary, to present a single point of contact with the site promoters to ensure a co-ordinated and effective interaction between all parties.
In addition, you will contribute to the wider Development Management Team, supporting colleagues to deliver planning decisions of all scales whilst also assisting Infrastructure Team to support infrastructure delivery through CIL, s106 and with external bodies. You will have a strong eye for urban design and good environmental awareness in decision making including experience of Environmental Impact Assessments.
What you will need:
With a recognised and appropriate planning qualification, and membership of the RTPI (or immediately working towards submission of your APC), you will have extensive post qualification experience in planning, specifically in the design and delivery of residential development and infrastructure delivery, giving sound knowledge of the planning system and planning law, as well as experience of leading on major planning applications.
If you think you have what it takes to be successful in this role, even if you don’t meet all of the essential requirements, please apply. We’d appreciate the opportunity to consider your application.
