Chichester District is a highly attractive place to live and work, home to a number of historic towns and villages, surrounded by beautiful countryside.

The post is suitable for a qualified and suitably experienced planning individual with excellent communication and presentation skills. You should have a minimum of three years post qualification experience and ideally some previous experience of dealing with larger scale planning applications. You must be positive, well organised and committed to excellent customer care.
