Our client is a large County Council that requires a Principal DM Planning Officer to carry out a key role in one of their district teams.
As Principal Planning Officer you will be tasked with managing a broad range of more complex cases and pre-applications with particular emphasis on larger developments including negotiating S106 agreements and Planning Performance Agreements (PPAs).
It will be your role to manage complex and/or contentious planning applications, processes and compliance, regulations and legislation, acting as the single point of contact for customers on those cases and attending appeals hearings and public inquiries as appropriate.
On a regular basis you will prepare and present reports to Area Planning Committees, District Planning Committee, and other internal and external meetings and present evidence/stand as witness at planning appeal hearings and public inquiries.
We are looking for a well-established Principal Planning Officer who can demonstrate an extensive public sector focused CV. It is absolutely essential that you have previous experience of PPAs and you are confident in both your technical and your negotiation skills.
The role will initially be offered for 3 months with potential to extend significantly. The rate is £60/hr (umbrella). You will be required to go into the office 1-2 days per week and carry out on-site visits as necessary.
