ABOUT THE ROLE

The Heritage and Conservation Officer will work with the Heritage, Design and Landscape Team Leader to provide a built heritage advisory service to Cheshire East Council.

Maintaining and updating the Council's Local List
Reviewing Conservation Areas
Supporting preparation of the Council's Local Plan
Advising on conservation and heritage matters across a variety of corporate projects
