North East Derbyshire District Council places great importance on its Planning Service delivering sustainable development and jobs in the right places while protecting and enhancing its rich and varied countryside on the edge of the Peak District National Park and the Derbyshire Dales. We must also balance the benefits of much Green Belt and being an attractive place for people to live.

To meet these increasing demands we are looking to add a Principal Planning Officer to our Development Management applications team.

The Principal Planning Officer will have significant experience dealing with complex and contentious planning applications and appeals. Experience of supervising other planning staff would be advantageous.

The successful candidate will have demonstrated their abilities to work as part of a committed, friendly and professional team.
