Head of Planning and Enabling:

Closing Date: 11th July 2023

A bit about the role
:


Working in a team led by Jon Irvine, Regional Development Director (North), the Head of Planning and Enabling (NW) will be responsible for leading the Planning and Enabling Development team based in the North West working closely with the Head of Planning & Enabling North East and the Head of Disposals NW as well as other members of the North Senior Management Team.


You will lead a multi-disciplinary team of planning and project management professionals to provide planning and enabling expertise to help unlock planning, project management and delivery obstacles to enable the delivery of new homes across the Homes England land portfolio, ranging in scale from small infill scheme to new settlements.


The main focus of the role will be to provide expertise and assurance on the delivery of activity to secure planning certainty on a regional portfolio of land assets (particularly those that require significant enabling infrastructure) and use this experience to build up the capability of their team.


The postholder will also be responsible for ensuring that all assets have appropriate delivery plans, and acts as the senior intelligent client for any planning or enabling works commissioned to third parties and is the point of escalation in these matters.


The development team is committed to provide high quality in-house expertise and it is very important to approach difficult and complex sites with the objective of creating practical and highly deliverable strategic solutions.

The team must always be prepared to ensure that development solutions are focused clearly on the market and commercial expertise and innovation is a key requirement.


It is also very important to work collaboratively with other teams in Homes England to create strategic solutions and also work in close partnership with all external partners in the development sector and with County and Local Authorities.

The Development Directorate is committed to ensuring that diversity is at the centre of team activity to improve productivity and performance in all aspects of its work.


This is a rare chance to lead and direct the Planning and Enabling Team in its future work as part of a fast growing, national organisation with real social purpose.

Working with key stakeholders and other professionals in the team and across the organisation you will ensure efficient, consistent and effective site development solutions, including high quality and sustainable planning advice and long term and appropriate place making.


A bit about you:


Whilst our day job is to deliver first class customer service to our stakeholders you will be used to "spinning several plates" at once and will always be looking for ways to improve and innovate.


We require a highly experienced professional with a track record of leading a team to deliver highly complex planning solutions for a variety of development sites across the North of England and ranging in size from approximately 100 new homes to large strategic sites with the capability of delivering up to 5000 new homes.


The position requires a high level of performance and focus on quality with clear business planning targets to be achieved and a commitment to innovate and improve the pace of delivery wherever possible.


A key requirement of the job is to lead the team in the preparation of all relevant approval processes including the drafting of papers, detailed risk analysis, value for money assessments and detailed planning reports and appraisals.


The job requires a high level of resilience and forward thinking and ability to manage positive working relationships at senior level both within Homes England and in partner organisations at Head of Service, Director, and Chief Executive level.

It is particularly important to have a clear understanding of the commercial and operational impact of the site development work and can represent Homes England confidently and professionally in meetings with external groups, particularly community-based organisations and Local Authorities.

You will enjoy working in an innovative, fun and engaging way and be able to negotiate and persuade.


As an experienced planning professional with a background in planning and project management you will be confident to motivate and lead a team with specific performance objectives to be achieved within the required timescales.

This will require working in a highly collaborative, positive, and inclusive way with due respect for the opinions and views of partner organisations.

The job also requires a very clear sense of purpose to confidently negotiate and achieve the required site-specific planning outcomes to deliver highly sustainable and long-term development solutions.
