Job Details

Test Valley Borough Council are set to embark on two of the biggest regeneration projects ever undertaken and we need an exceptional candidate to proactively lead these exciting, high profile plans. 

We are an ambitious, innovative and optimistic council, whose Corporate Plan, ‘Growing Our Potential’, is focused on building upon the Borough’s strengths, including those of its fantastic communities, to improve the quality of life for residents across Test Valley. To achieve this vision, the redevelopment of Andover and Romsey town centres are our number one priority.

This is a once in a generation opportunity to respond to the changing face of the High Street and we have grabbed it with both hands. To facilitate the transformation and future-proofing of our town centres, we have expanded our estate and made significant land purchases. With the help of two of the country’s best consultancy teams we have adopted two masterplans setting out our bold ambitions for the coming years. 

Being the Council’s technical expert for both of these ambitious projects, you will be able to demonstrate extensive experience of working at a senior level in a related area, as well as a proven track record in development and delivery. You will actively manage risks and provide robust solutions to challenges. To ensure successful delivery of the projects, you will be an effective communicator, able to engage with our communities, our partners and other teams across the Council, building strong relationships. 

This is a once in a career opportunity for the right candidate, to help totally transform Andover and Romsey. 

If this has caught your interest and you think you could make a difference then we’d really love to hear from you. 

For more information please contact Graham Smith, Head of Planning Policy & Economic Development on 01264 368141.

Closing date for applications: midday Thursday 22 October 2020.

Company

The extensive area of the Test Valley borough is one of the most beautiful areas in Southern England.

The River Test and its associated tributaries - the Mecca of trout fisherman - runs through the entire length of the area from north to south.

The countryside is typical Hampshire downland interspersed with woods and copses and high quality agricultural land. The area contains two principal towns, Andover and Romsey. Andover in the north, the larger of the two, is an expanding town with a modern shopping centre and there are plans for a new cinema and theatre.

There is a leisure centre and substantial industrial developments, together with further fully serviced land available for lease by industrialists. Romsey in the south is an ancient medieval town with its Abbey and Broadlands, the home of the late Earl Mountbatten of Burma. From just south of Newbury to the Northern edge of Southampton Test Valley, like its river, makes up western Hampshire.

The Borough comprises the growing commercial centre of Andover, the country market town of Romsey and the beautiful countryside of the valley of the River Test, centred on Stockbridge. Test Valley must have one of the most diverse characters in Hampshire: its rural character reflects the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, occupying more than 10% of the Borough, some 25 Sites of Special Scientific Interest, 38 Conservation Areas and thousands of listed buildings.

Yet on the other hand Test Valley has a vibrant economy with a number of household name companies with local headquarters, low unemployment and business sites totalling well over a million square feet available for development.
