3 weeks ago

Portsmouth Hampshire, United Kingdom Portsmouth City Council Full time €64,473 - €70,834

Depending on skills and experience
Contract: Permanent
The Planning Service sits at the heart of the Economy, Planning & Transport Directorate. The main objective of development management is to work with our partners, customers and communities to create places and buildings that improve social, environmental and economic wellbeing. Development management focuses on working closely with developers, using innovative ideas to maximise development opportunities in the city's interest, to reduce risk and to achieve a deliverable scheme.
Through working with our partners in South Hampshire we are the only region to identify a solution to the 'nitrates problem' but this has left us with a legacy of a backlog of applications, exacerbated by the challenges of service delivery during Covid. You will have the opportunity to shape a Development Management service to deliver efficient, sustainable decision making while delivering strategic scale place making developments.

It is an island city with an inner city feel, a seaside location packed with attractions and events, and the advantage of fantastic countryside on its doorstep. With a fast-growing university, high-tech industries and a vibrant cultural scene, Portsmouth is a modern city that looks to the future, is proud of its unique heritage as the home of the Royal Navy and historic dockyard. With fast road and rail links to London, Brighton and major airports, and ferry links to Europe, it is the perfect place to live and work.
Ian Maguire Assistant Director of Planning and Economic Growth
Running the Cities Economic Development and Planning services gives me the opportunity to support those links between forward planning and delivering growth and improved places on the ground. Working in a Unitary Authority we have the advantage of close collaboration with property, transport, public health and cultural colleagues to maximise the opportunities from new development. Portsmouth is a city that combines advance manufacturing, modern living, innovative culture and prevalent heritage; Lucy Howard Head of Planning Policy
I started as the new Head of Planning Policy in November 2023 and I am in charge of the new Portsmouth Local Plan. I am relishing the challenge of producing a Local Plan for the UK's only island city and the UK's most densely populated city. Working for the City Council is a real change for me as I was previously Planning Policy Manager for the UK's newest national park, the South Downs and I led on their first ever Local Plan. The city has a real spirit and there are some truly ambitious projects to get involved with such as the City Centre regeneration and Tipner. There are of course challenges including the recruitment and retention of senior officers. There is a good senior management team for Planning & Economic Growth and we are all supportive of each other.
The main objective of development management is to create places and buildings that improve social, environmental and economic wellbeing. Development management focuses on working closely with developers to maximise development opportunities in the city's interest, to reduce risk and to achieve a deliverable scheme.

Development Management
Planning Enforcement
Section 106 Contributions and Community Infrastructure Levy

You will also have clear understanding of the role development management plays in delivering regeneration with experience of working with developers, members and other stakeholders in a development management environment.
You will have strong strategic and leadership skills to provide a high quality Development Management service working across multiple areas in a complex environment.
You will be committed to team success and work with others to reach a common goal, sharing information, supporting colleagues and searching out expertise and solutions from relevant partners and/or the communities you serve.
