I am working with a Local Authority in Gloucestershire who are seeking an experienced Senior Planning Enforcement Officer to join their team on an interim basis. This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced enforcement professional to work within a predominantly rural district, managing a varied caseload and supporting the delivery of an effective enforcement service.
The Role:
As a Senior Planning Enforcement Officer, you will:
* Manage a caseload of planning enforcement investigations from initial complaint through to resolution
* Investigate breaches of planning control and assess expediency for formal action
* Prepare reports and draft enforcement notices where required
* Undertake regular site visits across the district
* Work on a range of rural planning matters, including barn conversions, countryside developments and other rural enforcement issues
* Liaise with residents, landowners, applicants, councillors and legal teams
* Provide professional advice on complex enforcement cases and support the wider Planning Service
Contract Details:
* Duration: Initial 6-month contract
* Rate: Up to £50 per hour
* Working Arrangement: Hybrid working available - 1 day a week onsite.
* Start Date: ASAP
* Requirement: Recent Local Authority Planning Enforcement experience is essential. Experience dealing with rural enforcement matters, including barn conversions and countryside developments, would be highly beneficial. Candidates should be willing to undertake site visits, although attendance at the council's weekly office day is not considered essential.

Please note: Not all roles are advertised. I am working with a number of Local Authorities across the South West region who require contractors across Development Management, Planning Policy, Enforcement and Technical Support functions. I would be more than happy to have a conversation about additional opportunities that may suit your experience.
