We're excited to offer a fantastic opportunity to join Hampshire County Council's Spatial Strategy & Insights (S106) Team. This role offers the chance to play a key part in supporting sustainable development across the county through the assessment, approval and monitoring of travel plans associated with new development, helping to ensure that growth is planned and delivered in line with transport policy and planning obligations.
The Role
You will play a key role in supporting the delivery of sustainable development in accordance with the Local Transport Plan. The role focuses on determining when travel plans are required as part of new development proposals, as well as the assessment, approval and monitoring of those travel plans once submitted by developers - thereby ensuring that obligations secured through Section 106 legal agreements are implemented effectively and in line with County Council requirements.
What you'll do
You'll work closely with our Highways Development Control team to identify whether a travel plan is required when the County Council is consulted on new planning applications. Where travel plans are necessary, you'll assess submissions from developers and consultants to ensure proposals are robust, appropriate and compliant with policy and guidance.
You'll be responsible for approving travel plans and overseeing a caseload of development sites, ensuring that developers and housebuilders are meeting the commitments set out in their travel plans. The role also involves maintaining accurate records, managing monitoring and approval data, and contributing to continuous improvements in guidance, processes and ways of working through collaboration with other teams across the County Council.
What we're looking for
We're looking for someone with strong analytical skills and the ability to manage a varied workload, balancing multiple workstreams and competing priorities. You will be confident working with technical and sometimes complex transport planning information, with the ability to assess data, apply professional judgement and maintain a high level of attention to detail.
You'll also be an effective communicator, able to build positive working relationships with a wide range of stakeholders, both externally and across the County Council. A collaborative mindset, precision in handling data, and a proactive approach to problem solving will be key to success in this role.
Please note that interview shortlisting will be based on how clearly you demonstrate the essential (and where relevant, desirable) criteria in your application text - please refer to the candidate pack for further information on these.
Benefits
Our benefits package includes details of the holiday entitlement, pension scheme, flexi time scheme, family friendly policies and interest free travel loans and discounts. We offer a flexible, motivating and inclusive workplace.
