Do you have experience in Planning?

Cotswold District is a great place to live, work and visit, and we are rightly proud of our businesses, communities and residents. We are busy recreating a council that’s pro-active and responsive to the needs of our residents and businesses in a fast changing environment. That means we need to be ‘fleet of foot’ and look for innovative and creative ways to deliver against our Corporate Plan priorities.

About the role…

We have an exciting opportunity for a Senior Planner to process planning applications, related pre-application advice, general enquiries, appeals and enforcement work but also to support the Planning Manager and deputise when required. The complexity and nature of the work will reflect the experience, competencies and qualifications of the successful applicant. 

Joining us will mean involvement in all aspects of processing a wide variety of planning and similar applications, dealing with applicants, agents and members of the public, within a vibrant, varied and well-motivated team environment.

This is a replacement role covering the Cotswolds, famous for quintessentially English market towns and villages built from honey-coloured stone. With a range of gently rolling hills and the largest area of outstanding natural beauty in England making it a perfect base for walking and cycling, you will have this right on your doorstep.  With our agile working ethos: you will be spoilt for choice.

You will need…

  • Degree or Diploma in Town and Country Planning or equivalent
  • Knowledge and understanding of the issues affecting Planning
  • Excellent written and oral communication skills
  • Excellent customer care skills
  • Ability to make sound judgements
  • Experience in mentoring
