  • 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.
