More about the role:

This is an exciting opportunity to work within Central Bedfordshire Council’s Strategic Delivery Team. We’ll look to you for definitive advice, as will all stakeholders involved in the planning process. It’s a chance to tackle highly complex strategic planning projects; deliver presentations on planning issues; lead negotiations in complex legal agreements; and act as an expert witness in planning appeals and hearings. It’s therefore vital that you’ve handled high-level planning projects before.

A skilled professional, your knowledge covers Development Management or LDF; statutory regulations; and complex Section 106 Agreements and similar. You will have a degree (or equivalent) in Town Planning. You’re also a member of the Royal Town Planning Institute with good political and commercial awareness. You combine your expertise with a gift for influencing others, supervising teams and leading partnerships. Strong communication skills are therefore key, together with a commitment to evidence-based decision-making.

Central Bedfordshire Council has its own vision and values that are integral to everything we do. Our area vision is to make Central Bedfordshire 'A great place to live and work’.

Closing Date: Sunday 19th August 2018
