An excellent opportunity has arisen for a Locum Senior Planning Solicitor to join a Local Authority in the Northern Home Counties for a locum period of 3-6 months.
The successful candidate will need to have significant planning experience, preferably gained in a local government setting. Previous management/supervisory experience will also be required due to the nature of the role.
The successful candidate will be required to pick up a case-load of planning matters which will have Director and Member involvement so you will need to be proactive and self-reliant as well as work as part of a wider team.
You will be responsible for matters which may include:
- Manage a caseload to include s106 agreements
- Provide expert legal advice to all levels within the team
- Assisting the council on various contentious and non contentious planning applications
- Advising at Planning Committee
- Occasionally dealing with Judicial Review matters
- Advising on Planning Appeal Inquiries
A key part of this role will be to manage and guide the established planning team, and take the lead on major projects.
This role offers a rate of £40 - £45 per hour (umbrella company basis). Candidates without Local Government experience are welcome to apply provided they can demonstrate knowledge of planning laws and are happy to be competitive on their hourly rate accordingly.
