  I work in the Planning and EIA team in Greater Manchester, co-ordinating and preparing planning applications, Environmental Impact Assessments, and environmental appraisals for a range of projects. I have prepared applications for waste, minerals, renewable energy, housing, commercial and industrial projects. My work requires a technical understanding of environmental assessments and legislation, as well as an understanding of the economic, technical, planning and policy issues required to support detailed planning submissions. I have experience of working on planning applications from early procurement and design stages, planning consultation, through to determination and discharge of planning conditions, liaising with relevant stakeholders and working closely with the wider multi-disciplinary team. I am committed to professional development, self improvement and am keen to gain experience in other project areas. Show less
