Sutton is a well connected, attractive borough in South West London that has a reputation for excellent schools, Green Flag award-winning green and leafy open spaces, and an industrial heritage along the River Wandle. Our Local Plan concentrates new housing in our town and district centres, and seeks to preserve the heritage assets and village feel of parts of the borough. The Council is leading regeneration in Sutton town centre, including a new Civic Hub, new site for Sutton College and new council housing. Sutton's priority is high quality, well-designed development that meets the highest sustainability credentials and secures affordable housing. Infrastructure provision is of high priority to our residents. Situated in Zone 5, Sutton is less than 30 minutes by train from central London, and south and south west London are easily accessible by public transport. There are 10 train stations which serve key neighbourhoods within the borough providing direct connections to London Victoria, London Bridge, London Blackfriars and St Pancras International. Sutton also has direct rail connections with Epsom, Dorking, Guildford and Horsham, as well as Wimbledon for an interchange with the London Underground and West Croydon for the London Overground. There's also an extensive road network which provides close and easy access to the M25 and M23. About the Role and our Ideal Candidate We are seeking a collaborative, proactive leader to deliver Sutton's corporate objectives whilst securing the highest quality planning decisions. You'll build highly-regarded and productive relationships with elected members, senior officers, staff, developers and residents. You'll be experienced at working in a local authority context and confident in providing sound and impartial advice to elected members and senior officers. We are looking for someone who will work collaboratively and proactively to deliver our corporate objectives whilst securing the highest quality planning decisions. You'll be an effective leader and team player who builds highly-regarded and productive relationships with elected members, senior officers, staff, developers and residents. You'll be experienced at working in a local authority context and confident in providing sound and impartial advice to elected members and senior officers. You'll be fully supported to grow in this role. We work flexibly, in a hybrid way and expect a presence by you in the office and/or borough for a minimum of two days a week. Getting to know the borough is an important part of the role. About Us Our planning service performs strongly against government targets for application decision-making, regularly deciding 90% of all reported applications within statutory targets, an appeal success rate which is 84% dismissed and is the fourth-best performing Council in the country in not using Extensions of Time (14% of all reported applications). We have a fully staffed and qualified building control team. Our Local Plan is being updated and will help position Sutton as a key player in attracting inward investment, jobs for our residents and STEM opportunities for our young people in the longer term. We want to be a major player in the Mayor of London's and Government's growth agenda. Planning will be key in shaping the Council's arguments for more investment in Sutton, especially in public transport improvements. We know our residents care about infrastructure alongside development, and our use of s106 and Community Infrastructure Levy from major developments will help ensure they feel and see the benefits too. Our new Local Plan will continue to concentrate new housing in our town and district centres and by diversifying planning uses we will boost footfall and vitality, alongside protecting the distinctive character and heritage of the borough. Within Sutton town centre, works will start this year on around 1,000 new homes on the former B&Q site in Sutton town centre, including 217 social rent council properties. Further consented developments are in the pipeline in Throwley Way and Lodge Place, as well as future proposals for the reuse of Quadrant House and St Nicholas House, along with a scheme to relocate Sutton College to a council-owned site in the High Street to create a 'Northern Gateway' and ensure regeneration of this end of the high street.

The LGA found that staff consistently described Sutton as \"friendly, welcoming and focused on communities\".
