Bexley sees the potential for unprecedented levels of new development, including up to 31,500 new homes over the next few decades. Two of London’s Opportunity Areas fall within the borough, and this is a particularly exciting time for managing how Bexley’s huge development potential will be realised.

The Transport & Development Team need someone to contribute to evolving transport proposals and relevant policies to support growth in Bexley and setting these out in local strategy documents, as well as undertaking the highway development control function and approval of development-related highway works to ensure that planning applications deliver the necessary initiatives. You will help cultivate good working relationships with key internal and external partners, particularly to establish how required infrastructure will be secured.

This is a Career Grade post and an excellent opportunity, whether you are an experienced practitioner or someone starting out on their technical career.
