Working closely with colleagues across the business, you will: 
- Regularly visit sites to discuss and identify development opportunities to improve efficiency and productivity.
- Identify development opportunities in the non-operational commercial estate.
- Secure the legal agreements and statutory consents necessary to enable development. 
- Develop early-stage scheme designs, commission investigations and lead internal and external teams to undertake and manage planning applications, EIAs, Appeals, Local Development Framework submissions and other land-use regulatory activities. 

You will need a full UK driving licence as regular visits to sites and attendance at public liaison events will be required.
