2 weeks ago
A top national law firm has an exciting opportunity for qualified lawyers with experience working in Planning law. As one of the most highly praised legal employers in the Yorkshire & North East region, candidates who can evidence at least 2+ years of post-qualification experience working in a strong real estate planning team can expect to join a highly profitable practice with a market leading approach when it comes to professional development and a supportive culture which is second to none.
Candidates applying for this role must be qualified lawyers (either qualified as a Solicitor or through CILEx as a Chartered Legal Executive) as this role is not appropriate for anyone who works at levels below qualification.

- Drafting, reviewing and negotiating s106 Agreements for housebuilders, registered providers, landowners and local authorities and liaising with clients regarding the same;
- Advising upon legal planning issues including interpretation of planning consents; interpretation of planning conditions; issues around whether a planning permission has been lawfully implemented; the different types of planning permission and their interaction;
- Advising upon the CIL Regulations and their application and advice around structuring a planning proposal to take account of the implications of CIL;
- Giving advice associated with compulsory acquisition and Development Consent Order work whether for a promoting authority/agency or whether objecting to a proposed scheme;
- Instructing and liaising with counsel on a number of projects, whether for written advice or as part of a larger scheme progressing to inquiry or court proceedings;
- Advising on certificates of lawfulness and planning enforcement from the initial stages through to inquiry and/or judicial challenge as appropriate;
- Working on judicial review advice and court proceedings, whether making an application or advising in respect of a challenge in the courts;
- Offering regular advice upon highways issues including in particular public rights of way including stopping up / diversion applications, strategic advice for dealing with public rights of way / desire lines, landowner statements;
- Contributing to the business development initiatives of the team, whether presenting seminars, writing articles or networking in the regions;
- Advising in relation to potential enforcement issues, defending or prosecuting current enforcement proceedings;
- Attending planning committee to advise members and officers of client local planning authorities (PQE dependent); and
- Carrying out basic planning due diligence to support wider real estate and housing departments.
Salary for the successful candidate will be completely led by the experience a candidate can bring to the role and my client will be open to considering ranges of expectations depending upon particular expertise that applying candidates can bring.
My client does operate a balanced hybrid working policy and has an additional range of benefits which can make an enticing package for interested candidates.
