Major work is underway to regenerate the town centre and to redevelop our employment areas, and Gatwick airport is currently pursuing expansion through proposals for a second northern runway. Crawley is one of the UK’s most successful New Towns and the economic hub of West Sussex. &nbsp;It has a historic core alongside the post-war town centre, surrounded by carefully planned residential neighbourhoods, with a large employment area. &nbsp;Crawley has excellent rail and road links to London, Brighton and Hove, Horsham and the south coast. &nbsp;</p><p>We have an adopted Crawley borough Local Plan 2023 -2040 which sets out an up-to-date approach to address the challenges facing the borough in delivering housing and other services to meet local need.

Detailed knowledge of the planning system and developer contributions is desirable, but training in the processes and legal requirements for the operation of the Community Infrastructure Levy will be provided.</p><p>We recommend that you submit your application as soon as possible, as we may close this advert before the stated closing date if enough applications are received.</p><h4>      Additional information  </h4><p>You will require a full current UK driving licence.<br><br>Flexible working with slightly reduced hours or job share requests may be considered.</p><h4>      Employee benefits  </h4><p>We offer a generous employee <a href="/council-information/jobs-and-careers/employee-benefits">benefits package</a>, with a range of discounts, benefits and wellbeing incentives to suit everyone.</p><h4>      Our way of working  </h4><p>Our shared <a href="/council-information/jobs-and-careers/values-and-behaviours">values and behaviours</a> reflect the special nature of our council.
