Locum Planning Lawyer
East of England Local Authority | 3-6 Month Contract

Sellick Partnership is delighted to be recruiting for an exciting opportunity for an experienced Planning Lawyer to join a highly regarded local authority in the East of England. This role is offered on a remote (Comittee once every 2-3 months) basis and is available for an initial 3-6 month contract, with the potential for extension.
Joining a collaborative and supportive legal team, you will play a key role in providing expert legal advice across a varied and interesting planning caseload.
Responsibilities will include:
- Providing general planning law advice to officers and stakeholders
- Drafting and negotiating Section 106 agreements
- Advising on highway agreements and related matters
- Supporting the council on a broad range of planning and development projects
- Attend planning committees once every 2-3 months
The successful candidate will have proven experience handling planning law matters and be confident managing their own caseload.

We are keen to speak with suitable candidates as soon as possible, so early applications are encouraged.
