Principal Planning Officer
£32910
An excellent opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic and experienced Town Planner to join our busy Planning Service at Principal Officer level.
The council is one of the largest Unitary Authorities in England, with a strong track record of delivering high quality services on behalf of its residents. The Planning Service deals with more than 6,500 planning applications and enquiries each year and is one of the busiest planning departments in the country (we were the 13th busiest planning department for minor applications and 5th busiest for major applications in 2020/21). We cover a very varied area of urban, rural and coastal locations which in itself provides a number of exciting and diverse planning challenges. We stretch from a boundary with the City of York across the Yorkshire Wolds (which are currently being considered for AONB status), to the chalk sea cliffs at Flamborough Head, down to Spurn Point and adjoining the City of Hull.
We offer a wide variety of experience in terms of application types and locations, and excellent training opportunities with a planning authority that is nationally recognised and respected. You will be expected to manage a large and varied caseload of planning applications and pre-application enquiries, which may include a mix of minor and major proposals for housing, employment, tourism, agricultural and infrastructure developments. You may also have the opportunity to lead on the council’s response to Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects within the East Riding.
The council is based in the beautiful market town of Beverley which is a great place to live and work and we look forward to hearing from you. In return, the council offers benefits including the Local Government Pension Scheme, paid professional subscriptions, support for CPD and other training opportunities, discounted gym membership and may also be able to offer a relocation package. We also operate a blended working approach and flexible working hours, with a mix of office and home working, to suit the needs of the business and our employees.
