Are you familiar with managing the various political, legal and public sensitivities associated with developing and managing planning strategy and policies? Do you have what it takes to apply your professional planning knowledge, expertise and integrity in a political environment? We’re looking for a candidate who can manage a team effectively in line with the Council’s values of Respect, Empower, Ambition and Learn
 
This is a full time post managing the Planning Policy and Strategy team in this large and varied Outer London Borough.  The team is based within the Planning section of the Council’s Housing, Planning and Regeneration Department and comprises professional Planners, covering the full range of planning policy topic areas, as well as support staff and will also include an Infrastructure Delivery team with its own team leader.

We are looking for a candidate ready to take a positive approach to helping the Borough actively manage these challenges through strong planning strategy and policies. Full details are set out in the attached job description but candidates will be expected to have broad Planning Policy experience, a proven track record of successfully managing Planning staff within Local Government and be a qualified Planner (MRTPI or equivalent)
