  • Assist in the management, and direction of the group including the co-ordination of the work of the group, and the setting of priorities.
  • Deputise for the Area Planning Manager when absent.

 

In order to be successful for the Senior Principal Planning Officer position you must also be able to clearly demonstrate recent local authority experience handling a mixed caseload of complex minor and small major applications.
