Interim Development Management / Planning Enforcement
Interim Head of Development Management / Planning Enforcement (Local Authority – South East)
We're supporting a local authority in the South East to appoint an experienced interim to lead their Development Management and Planning Enforcement functions during a period of transition and service change.
This is a high–profile, operational leadership role, suited to someone who can bring stability, credibility and strong stakeholder management in a politically sensitive environment.
The role
You'll provide day–to–day leadership across Development Management and Planning Enforcement, ensuring operational continuity and confidence in the service. The post sits within a changing local government landscape and will involve leading through organisational and political change.
Contract details
Contract length: 6 months
Rate: Competitive hourly rate
IR35: Inside IR35
Working pattern: Hybrid – ideally 2 days onsite (some flexibility for an exceptional candidate)
Interviews: Interviews next week
Key focus areas include:
- Leadership and oversight of Development Management (including major applications)
- Oversight of Planning Enforcement
- Maintaining service performance and team stability through a transition period
- Handling complex, high–profile and politically sensitive cases
- Supporting key meetings and attending planning committees as required
What we're looking for
This will suit someone who can step in immediately at senior level and lead from day one. The client is looking for proven local authority DM leadership (not someone stepping up for the first time).
Experience should include:
- Senior Development Management leadership within a local authority (DM Manager / Head of DM level)
- Managing major applications, regeneration schemes and complex caseloads
- Confidence operating in member–led / politically sensitive environments
- Strong track record leading teams through change and maintaining service continuity
- Exposure to Green Belt schemes is highly desirable
Interested?
