Dorset Council is working on an ambitious local plan that will shape the future strategy for sustainable development in the county.
Our aim is that everyone in Dorset should have access to affordable, suitable and secure homes where our residents can live as part of thriving communities. Working with partner agencies, we aim to increase the supply of the right homes, in the places we need them. Dorset’s popularity as a desirable place to move to and retire has to be balanced with providing homes for our local needs. We need to make sure our working age residents can afford to live here.
As part of the Housing & Planning teams, you'll get to work in an area of outstanding natural beauty, with the opportunity to add quality developments into our landscapes.
Dorset Council has one of the largest local planning authorities in the country, issuing over 5,000 planning decisions annually, ranking 7th out of 339 local planning authorities in England—placing us in the top 2% nationally.
There are great opportunities to get involved in a wide variety of projects, and we always make sure that everyone feels valued and supported in developing their career.
Housing and planning are at the heart of place-shaping, aiming to create a sustainable legacy for future generations. With a dedicated team of over 200 professionals across various services, we strive to work cohesively to deliver the best outcomes for our communities.
