We are looking to recruit a suitably qualified and experienced individual to lead, manage, and develop the Council’s Development Management team. The team includes the Enforcement, Conservation, Community Infrastructure Levy, Land Charges, Street Naming, and Technical Support functions of the Council, in addition to managing the delivery of the Building Control service, currently secured via the East Midlands Buildings Consultancy in partnership with South Kesteven and Rushcliffe Borough Councils.

The District is the largest geographically in Nottinghamshire and offers a diverse range of opportunities and challenges in planning terms, including issues around green belt, flood risk, gypsy and traveller provision, and heritage.

You will be a forward thinking, inspiring and qualified planning professional with excellent technical knowledge and display the credibility to work in a political environment.
