This is an exciting opportunity to join Adur & Worthing Councils at the start of the Local Plan making process under the new plan making system as the Councils move towards local government reorganisation.

As Senior Planning Officer (Policy), you will support the Principal Planning Policy Officer to lead on key policy areas, matrix work with other Council services, to advise on the delivery of strategic sites and influence internal and external strategies to ensure they achieve sustainable development and represent Council priorities.

This role will combine research, evidence commissioning, stakeholder engagement, and project management to ensure the Local Plan is legally compliant, technically sound, and delivered to meet deadlines. You will also be involved in representing the Council to defend strategic planning policy at public examination and appeal.

You will also brief Council Members and Committees and deputise for the Principal Planning Officer or the Local Plan and Specialists Manager as required.

The successful candidate will require significant professional experience as a town planner within the public or private sectors, ideally with direct experience in a planning policy environment, including Local Plan preparation at a variety of stages.

For an informal discussion about this role, please contact Moira Hayes (Planning Policy and Specialists Manager) on 01273 263247 or Chris Furlong-Jones (Principal Planning Officer) on 01273 263243.

We look forward to receiving your application!
