The North York Moors National Park is one of the most beautiful landscapes in the UK with 23,000 residents and 7.6 million visitors per year. Our purposes are to ensure that the North York Moors retains its special qualities and to help the public enjoy and understand them.

Within this context a key challenge is to ensure that new development takes place without compromising these purposes and we need high quality people to help us do this.

This really is a once in a lifetime opportunity for a skilled and experienced Mineral Planner.
