Environmental Dimension Partnership

WE ARE PLACEMAKERS

At EDP, we start with nature. By understanding a site’s natural capital and embracing its unique identity, we shape places that connect people and enhance ecosystems. With our multi-disciplinary approach to help navigate technical and planning challenges, we have the collective skillsets to unlock creative opportunities.

Our purpose is to deliver positive change for people and the planet. We understand the multi-dimensional value of land and put successful placemaking outcomes at the heart of everything we do. We go the extra mile – for our clients and each other, for the environment, and for the communities we affect. At EDP, we specialise in ‘environmentally led’ masterplanning, combining our placemaking skills with expertise in landscape, ecology, arboriculture and heritage.

Our teams have a wealth of knowledge and it’s our philosophy to share that in-house to ensure our disciplines are fully integrated, not independent silos. We work on all scales of development across the UK, from smaller affordable housing sites to some of the largest, high profile urban extensions and regeneration projects.

EDP has a strong sector-leading reputation in environmental planning and design consultancy, and our differentiation is based on our clients’ perception that EDP offers the ‘most trusted’ advice when it comes to its involvement in planning projects

EDP is engaged to resolve the tension between:

• The clients’ ambitions to undertake development;
• The need to protect certain facets of the environment;
• The opportunity to create high-quality places for people to live; and
• The opportunity to secure additional positive outcomes for natural and human systems.

EDP are assessed on their ability to maximise the value of a development project whilst meeting, or even exceeding, local and national environmental planning and political requirements.
