The Planning Applications Team is working hard to maintain high performance levels. As a result of a continued high volume of applications and internal secondment we are looking to recruit a new Assistant Planner post within the team. The position is based in the district of Stratford-on-Avon whose boundaries extend into the Cotswolds AONB and the West Midlands Green Belt and contain a significant number of Conservation Areas and Listed Buildings. You will deal with a caseload focussed on householder applications and other types of minor applications including, lawful development certificates, advertisements, agricultural notifications and prior approvals. You will be expected to show enthusiasm, drive and a high level of personal organisational skills to manage a large volume of simpler applications. You will have contact with District Councillors, parish councils and members of the public so good customer skills are also essential. You will ideally hold a post graduate qualification in planning or a related field or be about to graduate. Or alternatively you will have experience of working within a development management team.

For an informal discussion about the Assistant Planners role, please contact Helen Watson (Team Leader, Assistant Planners) on 01789 260325 or Clare Eynon (Performance, Appeals and Enforcement Manager) on 01789 267575.
