Sound grasp of UK planning policy, NPPF, local plans, S106, CIL, EIA, design codes and heritage or green-belt constraints

Experience preparing supporting documents such as Planning Statements, DAS, community involvement summaries and committee presentations

Confident consultation skills, attending public exhibitions, stakeholder workshops and negotiating with local authorities

Familiarity with urban design principles, viability, masterplanning and cross-disciplinary working with architects, engineers, landscape and transport teams

Organised, solutions-driven mindset with the ability to juggle multiple cases and deadlines while safeguarding client and community priorities
