Help us shape our places and your career.

We want to show our residents and businesses that planners, with a positive focus on quality and infrastructure, can deliver change in a way that makes their lives better.  We are looking for a talented Senior Development Management (DM) Officer who has the drive and ambition to help us deliver an excellent service with an aim to be the leading Development Management service in Hertfordshire, alongside a true desire to shape and improve the borough.

Hertsmere lies within southern Hertfordshire bordering the northern edge of Greater London. We have a unique combination of economic opportunities alongside a diverse townscape, villages and extensive areas of green belt land, meaning the borough provides an exciting opportunity to experience every aspect of the planning system.

Hertsmere is in the process of preparing a positive vision for growth within the borough through our new Local Plan.  We are also working to provide a Joint Strategic Plan for the area and striving to deliver a quality focused Development Management service which meets the needs of existing and future residents.  Our Development Management service is currently working on a variety of interesting and exciting projects including proposals relating to Sky Studios, Watford Football Club and the BBC.
