Infrastructure Planning Team Leader &nbsp; PO7 - £57,402 - £60,573 annum&nbsp;  &nbsp;

 About Us&nbsp;

 The Planning &amp; Development service is shaping the places our residents and businesses use every day.  We do this by working with and holding developers or landowners to the high standards in our bold Local Plan and the London Plan.&nbsp;

 &nbsp;he newly established Development Delivery team is building on the aspirations of our residents and members.  We want to ensure our residents can benefit from genuinely affordable homes, have access to beautiful and truly accessible public spaces, can secure the new jobs being created in a range of industries, and have access to the social infrastructure for everyone to thrive. Our strategic sites will create new communities that must truly connect with their neighbours. &nbsp;

 The Development Delivery team want to forge more productive relationships with stakeholders to help with the delivery of development alongside adequate infrastructure.  Our borough is growing and so is our team.&nbsp;

 &nbsp;About the Job&nbsp;

 This is a leadership role in our newly established Development Delivery team – leading on infrastructure planning with a team of two officers reporting to you. &nbsp;

 &nbsp;We are a growing and ambitious borough.  We want the best for our residents.&nbsp;

 Our team need to ensure that where development is happening there is commensurate infrastructure and council services.&nbsp;

 &nbsp;This role will have autonomy to establish our approach to infrastructure planning, there are pockets of amazing practice and relationships between the planning service, the wider council, the third sector and infrastructure providers – but this role will bring all of those threads together.&nbsp;

 You will be supported by a committed senior manager to help you achieve yours and the wider council vision of success. &nbsp;

 This is a new team – so you can make your mark as a leader at Newham.&nbsp;

 The team will take over the updates to the infrastructure delivery plan and establish a network of connections internally and with external infrastructure providers to more acutely understand their business plans and investment decisions; the team will also lead on the establishment of an updated CIL infrastructure list and work with colleagues in finance to start to establish a process for prioritising infrastructure (to inform part of our ongoing iterative local plan evidence base and a material planning consideration of infrastructure sufficiency). &nbsp;

 You will be able to support the progression and adoption of the local plan at any future examination in public as an expert witness on infrastructure planning; or equivalent settings.&nbsp;

 Building relationships with developers and infrastructure providers to facilitate and unlock sites may also become part of this team’s function as things evolve during the year and beyond.  Supporting development management with infrastructure sufficiency and prioritisation judgements will also follow.&nbsp;

 The Principal Aviation Officer role will report to this post and will remain committed to the monitoring of compliance with the airport’s extant planning permission and will support the (new) Senior Infrastructure Planner and team leader to assimilate to Newham’s approach to infrastructure.&nbsp;

 You will be confident in your own abilities but not afraid to be honest if something does not go to plan. You will foster an atmosphere of shared accountability with your team, the wider service and other stakeholders.&nbsp;

 You will be confident in preparing and presenting reports to a range of audiences to inform, influence or engage on planning obligations, planning policy and site specific considerations. &nbsp;

 You will be ready to direct but also get involved with tasks alongside your svelte but mighty team. Bringing together and co-ordinating actions happening across the council you will be the anchor to initially steady this ship; but you will then be the captain that gets our infrastructure planning team moving in the right direction.&nbsp;

 You will already be a part of or quickly become familiar with a range of pan-London infrastructure planning thematic groups and in negotiation with planning policy you will become the borough’s representative for these forums.  Soon you will be leading or hosting these forums.&nbsp;

 You will have experience of or feel comfortable in being the face for your team but also allowing chances for your team to shine too – in conversations with residents, members, senior leaders, developers, land owners, and infrastructure providers.&nbsp;

 As a non-negotiable you will be committed to the achievement of equality, diversity and inclusion in both employment and service delivery.&nbsp;
