Daniel Bird

Planning Officer @Braintree District Council

I manage a diverse caseload of planning applications, including complex residential, commercial, and mixed-use developments. I provide clear, policy-based planning advice to applicants, agents, and stakeholders, ensuring all proposals align with local and national planning frameworks. My responsibilities include drafting detailed reports, presenting recommendations at planning committees, and representing the council at appeals and public inquiries. I conduct site visits, assess compliance with conditions, and collaborate with internal and external teams to deliver high-quality, sustainable development outcomes.
