Your role and responsibilities:
Provide timely, clear and effective professional advice to the public, councillors and colleagues on a range of planning matters, which includes development management matters and the processes involved in consenting and delivering NSIPs.
Attend inquiries and examinations in public to represent the county council on its position.
Manage a caseload of complex planning applications, preparing reports for, and attendance at, Development and Regulatory Committee.
Mentoring members of the Team in matters related to their professional development.
You will need:

The team
The Team comprises a small, but busy team of planners and other professionals working on a diverse range of projects. Working within a County Council, you will be part of shaping the planning process to further the broad interests and duties of the Council. The Team comprises the strategic planning and development management functions of the county council. The county council has plan-making and development management functions, like other local planning authorities, for minerals and waste and for planning applications, the council is responsible for its own developments such as for schools, fire stations and roads.
The strategic planning function interacts between Suffolk’s other local planning authorities and the county council’s other services in the production of local and neighbourhood plans and the delivery of infrastructure. This includes securing developer contributions through section 106 agreements or through the community infrastructure levy.
The team also leads the Council’s contribution to Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects and Suffolk is a notable hot spot of activity, particularly related to energy projects.
The team works closely with others within the council and outside the organisation, including the Economic Development Team which develops strategic policy with the Local Enterprise Partnerships.
Empowering Everyone
We’re big believers in potential, possibility and the power of different ideas. We’re always searching for ways to encourage, respect and enable everyone to be the best they can be. We want to represent the diverse communities we serve. We welcome applications from all individuals, especially those from groups that are currently underrepresented in the organisation, as shown in our Workforce Equality Report.
