Winchester, Hampshire, United Kingdom Winchester City Council Full time
Exciting Opportunity in Historic Environment Team

Winchester City Council is seeking an ambitious Urban Design Officer to join our specialist Historic Environment Team. As a key player in strategic projects, you will work closely with different departments across the Council to assess and shape the most interesting and complex development projects in our district.

Our district includes the cathedral city of Winchester, smaller towns and villages, beautiful countryside, and a large part of the South Downs National Park. You will have the opportunity to use your expertise to shape and support ambitious sustainable development projects across the district.

The Historic Environment Team is a small but influential team within the Built Environment Service, made up of specialists in archaeology, historic buildings, and urban design. We're supportive and highly collaborative, aspiring to high standards in our work. We are committed to your professional development and growth, while maximising work/life balance.

Key Responsibilities
  • Provide urban design advice for pre-applications, planning applications, and appeals
  • Guide the Council's Major Projects and New Homes teams
  • Shape the development of masterplans and development frameworks for significant projects
  • Contribute to the production of design codes, local planning policies, and guidance documents
  • Coordinate the Design Review Panel
  • Advise elected members, informally and through committee meetings and presentations
  • Support and train planning officers in urban design to 'grow our own'
About You

We're looking for a qualified urban designer, architect, landscape architect, or town planner with several years' experience in design for major development projects. Experience in historic building conservation and working with protected landscapes is desirable, but not essential. What's most important to us is finding someone with the right fit, who can work proactively and adaptably with us to negotiate and advocate for high-quality design in new development.

The successful candidate will understand what it means to collaborate and engage effectively with customers and community stakeholders. Our offices are based in the heart of Winchester, offering a range of benefits, including employer-paid health cash plan, hybrid working, salary sacrifice scheme for cars and bikes, and more.
