Hyndburn is an attractive area set in the heart of Pennine Lancashire, within easy reach of Manchester, the lakes, and the Coast. The Borough, comprised of Accrington and the surrounding Market Towns, is currently experiencing unprecedented levels of regeneration which is delivering real and substantial improvements to the quality of life in the area.

Hyndburn Borough Council is a great place to work. Over recent years, we’ve established an impressive reputation as a Council with a strong sense of direction and an enviable record for improving services and getting things done. We now have an exciting opportunity for someone to join our team.

The Planning Policy Manager will be responsible for managing the development of Hyndburn’s Local Plan, through which high quality and sustainable development across the Borough will be secured. The Council is seeking to deliver growth and investment for Hyndburn, and the Local Plan is central to this with two strategic employment sites and a garden village at Huncoat.

The Planning Policy Manager will be a highly motivated, qualified, and experienced planner who will be expected to manage the development of a sound local plan and ensure it is supported by the necessary evidence. Strong communication skills, and the ability to effectively engage within the Council, with its residents, applicants, and elected members, are essential. You should be a member of the RTPI with excellent knowledge and experience of planning and development control. You should also be computer literate and understand development control IT systems, able to manage people and budgets, and also possess strong negotiation skills.
