      • Dealt with pre-application forms, a lot of these enquiring as to whether people needed planning permission. One was on micro-generation which prompted my research dissertation in to how de-regulation of planning affected this sector. • Assumed the responsibility of duty officer every Thursday afternoon. Consolidated planning queries the general public had. This allows planning to be learnt at a very quick pace but more importantly how to describe planning issues in digestible forms to the public. • Allocated a number of planning applications. These included dormer extensions to lawful development certificate and a prior notification for the demolition of flats. • Working in Enforcement and Development Control taught me negotiation skills in dealing with councillors who not always understood fully planning policy.
