• You’ll keep Local Plan work right at the heart of what you do, staying closely involved and making sure Local Planning Authority (LPA) queries are picked up and responded to quickly, clearly, and consistently.
• You’ll act as a friendly, dependable first point of contact for LPAs, helping with questions, offering guidance, and keeping communication open throughout the plan-making process.
• When new development sites come forward, you’ll take the time to look at them properly, using data and insight to give clear, practical advice on what education infrastructure will be needed.
• You’ll bring together strong evidence, like pupil forecasts, pupil yield data, and capacity modelling, to support well-informed and confident planning decisions.
• You’ll keep a close eye on key milestones and any emerging issues, so you always have a clear picture of progress and where support might be needed.
