 Our team need to ensure that where development is happening there is commensurate infrastructure and council services.&nbsp;

 You will be supported by a committed senior manager to help you achieve yours and the wider council vision of success. &nbsp;

 This is a new team – so you can make your mark as a leader at Newham.&nbsp;

 The team will take over the updates to the infrastructure delivery plan and establish a network of connections internally and with external infrastructure providers to more acutely understand their business plans and investment decisions; the team will also lead on the establishment of an updated CIL infrastructure list and work with colleagues in finance to start to establish a process for prioritising infrastructure (to inform part of our ongoing iterative local plan evidence base and a material planning consideration of infrastructure sufficiency). &nbsp;

 You will be ready to direct but also get involved with tasks alongside your svelte but mighty team. Bringing together and co-ordinating actions happening across the council you will be the anchor to initially steady this ship; but you will then be the captain that gets our infrastructure planning team moving in the right direction.&nbsp;

 You will already be a part of or quickly become familiar with a range of pan-London infrastructure planning thematic groups and in negotiation with planning policy you will become the borough’s representative for these forums.  Soon you will be leading or hosting these forums.&nbsp;
