Growth Lancashire is a vehicle for partnership working. We are a private company which is owned by several Lancashire Local Authorities and we operate across the County.
Our role is diverse and focuses on supporting businesses to grow and simplifying support; caring for and developing Lancashire's heritage and environmental assets; and securing and delivering external funding. We also have a shared interest in promoting Lancashire and encouraging investment.
Working across the public, private and voluntary sectors, Growth Lancashire has a growing reputation for specialising in and delivering heritage and conservation activities.
We are appointed by several Local Authorities to provide advice on development proposals (planning applications, listed building consent applications etc.) affecting heritage assets, and work with Council's regarding other heritage matters, such as Conservation Area Appraisals, schemes affecting their own buildings, Local Plan work and updating Local Lists. The post holder will be involved in all aspects of this work.
In addition, we are experiencing growing demand for our heritage services from the private sector, including development advice, Heritage Statements, Heritage Impact Assessments and the preparation of listed building applications.
In response, we are seeking to appoint and develop a new Heritage and Conservation Assistant to join our existing team who will work closely with both the company's lead officer and other members of the team to deliver professional heritage services to a wide range of stakeholders.
