You will be responsible for working with developers and council departments to ensure compliance with S106 agreements, as well as be involved in the implementation of the Community Infrastructure Levy. You will play a key role in the process of allocating CIL and S106 funds to deliver key projects across the Council. This process involves extensive collaboration with elected Members, senior council officers and external organisations. Your main focus will be to contribute towards achieving sustainable development, and ensuring that developer contributions deliver benefits to the local communities.
