About Us

East Devon is independently recognised as an outstanding place and so it follows that its council must also strive to be outstanding.  Everything we do is aimed at ensuring that East Devon is a place that people want to live in, work in, visit and enjoy.  Our ambition is to be an outstanding council which works together with local people to create great value services and an outstanding community, economy and environment for East Devon, now and for future generations.

About the role

This challenging and exciting role involves managing a series of projects where the Council will be working with land owners, developers and other stakeholders to enable large scale development proposals to come forward where they are currently unable to do so. The Council has an excellent track record of delivering housing in the district but has a number of key sites where for various reasons the sites are not coming forward as planned. You would project manage the Council's intervention in these sites working with colleagues across the Council co-ordinating resources to address the various issues and unlock the sites. You will provide valuable expertise in carrying out development briefs, masterplans and development appraisals as well as providing support on development viability issues and work with our partners on each site to ensure their timely delivery.

Company

East Devon is one of eight Devon districts and in population terms is the largest in the county. Our district is set in a particularly attractive part of Devon in which to live and work. The coastline forms part of England’s first World Heritage Site designated for its natural environment. There are two Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and within the district generally, there are extensive leisure opportunities and sports facilities.

East Devon District Council has an area of 81,477 hectares that borders Exeter, Somerset and Dorset and comprises the area between the River Exe and outskirts of Exeter to the west, and Somerset and Dorset to the east. Our larger coastal resorts are Exmouth, Budleigh Salterton, Sidmouth and Seaton and the major towns in the mainly rural inland area are Honiton, Ottery St Mary, Colyton and Axminster.

However, coast and countryside aren't our only attractions. We’ve been at the forefront of exciting new developments in the district, as part of the Exeter and East Devon Growth Point which includes the new town of Cranbrook (East Devon’s newest town since the Middle Ages), the Science Park, SkyPark Business Park, E.ON Energy Centre and an Exeter Gateway Freight Terminal. These help support the delivery of 20,000 new homes and over 26,000 jobs within the district up to 2026. 

And at the heart of everything we do is a need to ensure that our beautiful district is protected and sustained. Our vision is to become a carbon neutral council by 2040, working within a low carbon economy and lifestyle. This will be reflected in our travel, homes, businesses, visitor experiences and communities, as well as how we work as a council.
