You will also assist on the preparation of specialist evidence and statements for the Local Plan Examinations in Public, as well as in respect of planning appeals.
The complexity of projects you will get involved in will vary depending on your experience.

- take a key role in a progressive team of planning professionals in providing definitive and professional advice for the two Councils;
- bring knowledge and understanding of national, regional and local planning policy and associated legislative requirements and policy guidance;
- have the ability to communicate clearly and effectively both orally and in writing;
- help to deliver a high quality, robust and transparent Spatial Planning service; and
- ensure decision making within tight time frames and that the Spatial Planning service is recognised as delivering an excellent planning service for all of our customers.

In addition, we offer a comprehensive range of staff benefits such as membership of the Local Government pension scheme, childcare vouchers, new technology scheme, interest-free loans on annual travel cards, discounts with many leisure activities, restaurants, shops and other establishments.
