London Borough of Hounslow, United Kingdom London Borough of Hounslow Full time

Job description

Would you like to be a part of The London Borough of Hounslow, whose diverse workforce are committed to making a positive difference for our residents and visitors by ensuring the quality of our services are maintained to a high standard?

Hounslow Council is an outstanding council serving an outstanding borough. With brilliant, visionary leadership, a dynamic Cabinet and a can-do culture, we’ve built strong partnerships across the borough which have transformed how we serve one of London’s most diverse boroughs. Hounslow is the world in one place, full of potential, but a borough hit hard -socially and economically -by Covid-19. We have stepped up for our residents and businesses like never before.

**About The Role**

Hounslow is uniquely placed between Heathrow Airport and the City, with an extensive River Thames foreshore. Its vast axis from Chiswick in the east, to Feltham and the borders of Heathrow in the west, means that few other London Boroughs contain such a varied slice of the capital. The Borough has significant potential for growth and improvement, with exciting development and regeneration opportunities in its Town Centres and the Great West Corridor and Heathrow Opportunity Areas. The Council is currently producing Development Plan Documents (DPDs) and Supplementary Planning Documents to capture and guide this growth potential.

Working within a busy Spatial Planning Team, the post holder will contribute at a senior level to work on the Local Plan (and associated documents) and will be responsible for preparation of Development Plan Documents, Neighbourhood Planning documents, Community Infrastructure Levy documents, other planning policy documents, and evidence base studies to support the Local Plan.

**Key Responsibilities**:
1. To prepare local planning policies and guidance that will form part of the planning policy framework for the borough.

2. To be responsible for the collection, analysis and dissemination of a range of data to both inform and monitor the outcomes of the Local Plan and its supplementary planning documents.

3. To programme and participate in consultation exercises with the public, developers, outside bodies and other departments on planning matters.

4. To represent authority at a senior level when dealing with other service areas, partners, developers and interested parties and build and foster strong working relationships where necessary and beneficial to promote the work of the team and produce sound and robust planning policy and CIL documents.

**Your Skills**:
1. Detailed knowledge of planning policy development and the adoption process for a Local Plan; Supplementary Planning Documents; and Community Infrastructure Levy.

2. Demonstrable experience of leading at a senior level on the preparation of a Local Plan and other statutory planning policy documents.

3. Knowledge of major factors, influences and legislation facing local government and the policy challenges facing the Service.

4. Good leadership skills and fosters powerful and productive working relationships both within the service, across the Council and externally.

**Professional Qualifications**

We value diversity in its broadest sense. We're committed to creating an inclusive culture where everyone is able to be themselves, give of their best and reach their full potential. We believe that a diverse workforce helps us to better understand our communities and deliver the best services for our residents.
