We are looking to appoint a Principal Urban Designer within our Planning service.
The role will work across the Council, and the Planning Service in particular, to provide specialist advice on urban design in conjunction with new developments in the Borough.
The postholder will assist with planning policy preparation, preparing masterplans and guidance for applicants and playing a key role in discussions with site promoters on how sites may be brought forward. This work will contribute to the preparation of the Council’s new Fareham Local Plan 2044.
The role will advise on major and other significant planning applications and pre-application planning enquiries, and the post holder will be expected to have an in-depth knowledge of national design guidance and practice.
The postholder will also work across services as a corporate urban design resource working on priority projects such as business parks at Daedalus, sites and projects on behalf of Fareham Housing and corporate Leisure and Community proposals.
You will work to ensure appropriately detailed considerations are given to projects in order to meet the objectives of the adopted and emerging Local Plan, and also the Corporate Strategy and Corporate Strategy and associated Corporate Priorities and key projects.
