Planning Development Manager: This role will focus on leading and managing the Development Management team, overseeing the processing of planning applications and supporting the enforcement function. You will lead a team of planning professionals while ensuring statutory planning services remain efficient and high performing.

Please note:
 
Not all roles are advertised. I am working with numerous Local Authorities who require contractors from entry-level to Director level to join their Development Management, Planning Enforcement, and Policy teams. I would be more than happy to have a conversation about additional roles that may suit your experience.
