We work in a rich planning environment across two varied authorities, and this is an exciting time to be joining us, as we develop the Local Plans for Lewes District Council and Eastbourne Borough Council in addition to preparing a set of plans and strategies for each authority.

You will be an integral part of the planning policy team with opportunities to take on a wide range of work.
