Head of Planning and Development

This is an exciting time for the Council’s planning function. The autumn will see the Council start consultations on a new Local Plan developed in partnership with Stoke on Trent City Council. Additionally, the Council will be embarking on a range of house building initiatives and the planning function will play a vital role in shaping how the organisation reaches its growth objectives. You will arrive and need to add value quickly to a range of pivotal projects including the master planning for Kidsgrove and working with Staffordshire County Council on master plans to maximise the use of land to transform vacant properties into new residential and commercial opportunities.
