I'm working with a Local Authority in Devon who are looking for an experienced Planning Enforcement Officer to join their team on an initial 6-month contract, with a view to extension.

The role will involve managing a varied caseload of approximately 60 enforcement cases, covering a range of planning breaches, including:

  • Unauthorised mobile homes and residential occupation.
  • Breaches of planning conditions.
  • Unauthorised building works and development.
  • Unauthorised changes of use.
  • Investigating complaints and alleged breaches of planning control.

You'll be responsible for managing cases from initial investigation through to resolution, carrying out site visits, gathering evidence, liaising with stakeholders and taking appropriate enforcement action.

What's on offer?

  • £35–£45 per hour.
  • Outside IR35 potential.
  • Initial 6-month contract, view to extend.
  • Just 1–2 days per week in the office.
  • Varied caseload with plenty of autonomy.

Ideally, you'll have previous Local Authority Planning Enforcement experience and be confident managing your own caseload from day one.
