This is a crucial role that ensures that all planning applications and associated documentation meet regulatory standards before they are progressed through our system.

Key responsibilities:

• Review and validate incoming planning applications (e.g. householder, full, outline, discharge of condition).
• Check submitted plans, forms, and statements for accuracy, completeness, and compliance with statutory requirements.
• Communicate with applicants and agents to request missing information or clarify submissions.
• Maintain and update application records using planning software systems.
• Provide advice and guidance on validation requirements to internal colleagues and external stakeholders.
• Support process improvements to streamline validation and registration workflows.
