Lead Officer (Development Management)

We are looking for a Lead Planning Officer to join our friendly and welcoming team. You will play a vital role in shaping how we meet our growth objectives, ensuring that development is of the highest quality and is both sustainable and environmentally progressive, whilst looking after the exceptional and stunning environment of North Devon - its coastline, harbours, moors and historic urban and rural settlements centred on the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of Braunton Burrows. The role will provide rewarding opportunities to build experience and further your career. If you are a forward thinking, positive and customer focused Planner who can enable appropriate development in a high class environment we would like to hear from you. Our team is a friendly, high performing team with highly skilled officers that are always happy to help and support. North Devon is a fantastic area with stunning beaches, countryside and moorland to explore. It is home to one of only 12 World Surf Reserves, two theatres, a watersports centre, a new leisure centre and interesting museums. Whatever your interests outside of work, you will be able to pursue them here. North Devon Council is ambitious and passionate about its area, its communities, its citizens and its employees and provides a positive working environment in which you will find an ideal work life balance who doesnt want to finish work and head to the beach to watch the sunset? The Council now offers a hybrid working model further enabling the flexible working approach (including remote working) which can be discussed further informally with the contacts below or at interview, where shortlisted.
