Planning Enforcement Officer

Petersfield, United Kingdom East Hampshire District Council Full time

Job Advert

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Planning Enforcement Team as a Planning Enforcement Officer. Planning enforcement is a deeply rewarding career path, where you will get to witness the positive impact of your work first-hand, as you investigate breaches of planning control in the district, and, if necessary, take the appropriate enforcement action. Planning enforcement sits at the heart of the planning system - without it, planning is pointless. In this role you would be investigating alleged breaches of the Planning Act, as well as offences in respect of Listed Buildings, Conservation Areas and Tree Protection Orders.

The post requires a conscientious and analytical individual who will be responsible for their own varied caseload, for which organisational and communication skills are essential. The post will involve desk-based investigations, as well as site visits and meeting people face-to-face. Enforcement Officers will come into contact with professionals across sectors as well as a variety of community members, and also work closely with other departments within the Council.

Part of the job is mediating disputes and resolving conflicts. The role requires negotiation skills and a calm temperament that allows you to respond to emotional situations with professionalism. Excellent listening skills, managing expectations sensitively, and dealing with people under difficult circumstances are essential.

A full driving licence and use of a car for work purposes is required, for which an essential user allowance will be payable.

For more information on the position, the essential requirements and what it delivers please see the role profile. Please make sure you submit a supporting statement or cover letter that shows how you meet the essential criteria for the position.

The Guaranteed Interview Scheme for Veterans is a commitment that the Council has made to support the Armed Forces Community Covenant - you can find more on this scheme and eligibility here.

Our organisation is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff members to share this commitment.

Please note - as part of our interview process your right to work in the UK will be checked by using approved right to work documents and share codes.
