Are you looking to drive your career forward by working as part of a dynamic and rewarding team?

Here at Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council we are seeking a talented and enthusiastic individual to join our Legal Services team as a Planning Lawyer

We are a large, in-house legal team consisting of lawyers, paralegals and support staff providing legal advice to two local authorities (Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council and Hart District Council).

Can work as part of a team, be flexible and enthusiastic.
Can demonstrate excellent communication skills and can prioritise workloads and meet deadlines;

General local government and/or public law experience gained through working in a local authority would also be beneficial, although not essential.

What you will do

As a Planning Solicitor you will:

manage a caseload of planning matters, including planning enforcement, s.106 agreements and advice work,
provide high-quality professional legal services on planning matters, draft and review documents, work towards advising at planning committee and provide support at planning appeals and inquiries;

About Basingstoke & Deane Borough Council

Covering an area of over 245 square miles in northern Hampshire and within a short distance to London Waterloo and the south coast, Basingstoke and Deane offers a real blend of rural and urban living. With a population of 185,200 people, Basingstoke is a fast paced, vibrant, and modern town with many successful businesses, surrounded by pretty villages and set in the stunning Hampshire countryside.

We are extremely lucky to be in a position that few other councils are in, as we continue to deliver our key front-line services and are going a step further by investing a significant amount of money each year to improve these services for our residents. Our 2022 resident satisfaction survey rate was an impressive 93% - a figure that has remained consistently high in recent years and well above the South East’s 74% average and the national 80% average.

We are excited to learn more about you and what you can bring to our team. If you have any questions about the role, feel free to email our Planning, Litigation and Governance Team Manager at [email protected]
