Statutory Standards and Frequently Asked Questions
A Planning Engineer contract based in Leeds is still assessed on facts, not postcode. Status paperwork should reflect Leeds attendance, hybrid days, and substitution. Inside IR35 Planning Engineer pay in Leeds is usually umbrella or PAYE, while an outside SDS lets the Leeds contractor invoice through a limited company. Advertised Leeds rates follow major-city rate parity, so city uplifts do not imply an outside finding. Travel between home and a Leeds office is rarely a substitute right. Check Leeds on-site expectations for this Planning Engineer before you treat the SDS as settled.
