Narrative:

[On] initial climb noticed aircraft vibration followed by an ECAM message ENG1 fadec B fault followed by ENG1 sensor fault. ECAM action and follow up with supplemental manual was followed and departure was advised of a possible return to airport. We consulted with maintenance control and decided a return to land was warranted. A message was sent to dispatch concerning our situation and intent. Since this was not an emergency situation; we asked for vectors to burn fuel so that an overweight landing could be avoided. Flight attendants and passengers were kept advised of our situation and a normal and uneventful landing was made. The aircraft was release to maintenance.
