As one of London’s largest and most diverse boroughs, Croydon is a fantastic place to live, work and spend time, with all the benefits of close proximity to the rest of London and the south east.

Over the past decade we have seen huge investment, regeneration and growth in our Borough. Croydon remains an attractive and important part of London for ongoing growth and investment – growth from which we want to see all our communities benefit.

However, as a council the impacts of the pandemic, austerity and our current financial challenges has brought significant changes to the way we operate and the resources available. We must change to focus on the needs our residents are facing today, while making sure we are a financially sustainable council by 2024.

This brings though, opportunities for those who want to work in a fast moving environment, focused on improvement and delivering better services. Croydon is an exciting place to work. You will need to be ambitious, passionate about planning, demonstrate strong personal responsibility and a desire to deliver great places.

We have a great planning management team, who lead, inspire and believe in Croydon. If you want a challenge with great job satisfaction, there is no better opportunity than Croydon.

About The Role

As a result of the ambitions for the Borough we are looking to enhance service delivery for our customers and to focus specifically on the realisation of sustainable growth, firmly embedded in high standards of design and the maximisation of social, economic and environmental benefits.

However, sustainable development can only be delivered alongside a proactive and robust planning enforcement regime and you will be charged as part of a team with investigating and resolving alleged breaches of planning control through negotiation and/or the service of planning enforcement notices with follow up of legal proceedings as appropriate.

You will work in a vibrant and busy Development Management Service and the successful candidate will have to be enthusiastic, motivated and demonstrate a general understanding of town planning legislation, have good written and verbal communication skills and to be able to work under pressure and to strict deadlines.

If you are interested in joining us we would be pleased to hear from you.
