Local Plan deadlines continue to shape policy recruitment, with councils in Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire, West Lancashire and the East of England advertising multiple roles at officer, senior and principal levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enforcement remains one of the most consistently busy categories, driven by increased volumes of unauthorised development, retrospective applications and neighbour disputes. Councils in Essex, Kent, Norfolk and the Midlands are actively recruiting enforcement officers and team leaders, often with clear training pathways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Strategic Planning roles are also rising, particularly in authorities managing major growth areas, garden communities and infrastructure\u2011led development. Candidates with experience in viability, Section 106, CIL and cross\u2011boundary coordination are in high demand. Overall, the market remains strong, with a broad mix of opportunities across all seniorities.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Policy, Enforcement and Strategic Planning Roles Surge Nationwide This week\u2019s planning recruitment landscape shows strong activity across three core areas: Planning Policy, Enforcement and Strategic Planning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1061","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 -
