Team Leader - Planning Enforcement Solihull, England
Job description
We have an exciting opportunity to join our Development Management team here at Solihull Council.
In this role you will lead the Enforcement, Monitoring and Compliance team in enforcing against breaches of planning control and will manage public protection officers in their work relating to planning and allied consultations, air quality management and monitoring. In doing so you will provide excellent customer service and clear communication to customers, stakeholders and elected members regarding applications submitted to the local planning authority and matters under investigation by the service at Solihull Council.
Why Solihull? There’s plenty going on to get you out and about in our beautiful borough. UK Central is one of the largest growth programmes in the country capturing development proposals for Birmingham Airport, Jaguar Land Rover, Arden Cross, HS2 and the National Exhibition Centre. In addition, we handle the range of work you would expect of an economically prosperous Authority with primary urban areas, rural villages and a high-quality Green Belt.
We are currently negotiating the complexities of delivering a revised Local Plan and we are also working hard to do what is needed to welcome the arrival of HS2. We pride ourselves in maintaining our historic and natural landscape, and delivering the best developments in the right locations, championing design quality, community benefits and green and blue infrastructure.
With such a big agenda, we are striving for planning services that are well resourced, fit for the future and geared up for delivery. We are after the brightest and best talent; commercially minded and emotionally intelligent. Your understanding of technical detail is important, but equally so is your ability to tell and sell our planning story. You’re going to need to be engaging, confident and dynamic; experienced in managing a professional team of dedicated officers and have a can-do approach to help us rise to the challenge.
