The Unit is comprised of experienced town planners and associated support staff to ensure the statutory and discretionary functions are implemented appropriately. The Unit has Development Management responsibilities for minerals and waste development and the county council's own development (schools, care homes, etc). It is also preparing a new Minerals and Waste Local Plan to replace the adopted Minerals Local Plan and Waste Development Framework. The Unit feeds into strategic planning matters as well as responding on the council's behalf to large scale developments in technical fields such as aviation, HS2 and renewable energy production, either by engaging with major planning applications or Development Consent Orders. The work of the team involves collaboration with developers, operators, property colleagues, agents, consultants, internal and external technical experts, legal officers and partnering agencies, amongst others. The Spatial Planning Unit is part of the Growth and Environment Directorate. Together this brings together a wide range of planners and other specialist professionals with involvement in all forms and scales of development across Hertfordshire. About the role The role will involve taking the lead on a number of the council's priority projects. The projects will combine traditional policy and DM work and will range from local to strategic in their nature across a number of specialist technical subjects. There will be opportunities to lead the development and defence of a Local Plan evidence base. The council is looking to publish a Regulation 19 Minerals and Waste Local Plan with a view to submitting it to the Planning Inspectorate later in 2025. This will include opportunities to represent the council at Examination Hearings to support the council in its aim to adopt a new Local Plan. There will be opportunities to engage with large scale applications, including Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects. The council expects applications to be submitted related to nearby airports and airspace, as well as large scale renewable energy schemes. The council will be expected to engage with these proposals to represent Hertfordshire residents and to ensure any impacts from development are acceptable and are mitigated by the benefits of development. There will be opportunities to engage with Strategic Planning. The recent Planning and Infrastructure Bill sets out that upper tier authorities will be given responsibilities to progress with Spatial Development Strategies in advance of devolution and local government reorganisation. This could incorporate developing a Strategy that takes account of housing requirements, emerging Industrial Strategies, the Local Nature Recovery Strategy, infrastructure requirements and other topics of a strategic nature and scale. The role will cover the entire county and will impact the lives of a significant portion of the county's population due to the nature of the subject matters that we operate in. It will allow for home working with the need to visit sites, as appropriate, and also meeting colleagues as part of the council's collaborative working practice.
