## About this tender

Specialist advisers who have expertise in agricultural, environmental and countryside issues are required to assess the applicant’s case for development. The local planning authority would consider this assessment in their consideration and determination of planning applications.

Where applications are refused following advice provided, these specialist services may also be required to defend the Council’s decision.

The contract will be for 3 years with an option for a further 2 years.

Contract start date is 1st April 2016. Full details including documents are available on our website – [testvalley.gov.uk](http://www.testvalley.gov.uk/business/doingbusiness/tenders/appointment-independent-consultants-respect-agricu/)
