welcome to the eco development group website
The Eco-development Group (EDG) was set up in 2009 by the TCPA. The group consists of local authorities, key delivery bodies and other groups bringing forward eco-developments of different models and scales; from eco-towns and villages to urban regeneration and extension schemes. The group helps to develop their proposals, embed ambitious sustainability standards and encourage a sharing of knowledge and best practice between the different sites. Together the group is providing innovative local leadership for plans delivering over 36,000 new homes.
The objectives of the EDG are to:
- Facilitate the exchange of information
- To develop good practice
- To identify and deliver on training needs
- To organise seminars and workshops
- To identify and implement European best practice
The Town and Country Planning Association (TCPA) is an independent charity working to
improve the art and science of town and country planning. The TCPA puts social justice and the
environment at the heart of policy debate and inspires government, industry and campaigners to
take a fresh perspective on major issues, including planning policy, housing, regeneration and
climate change.
