After more than 15 years of planning, the delivery of a sustainable new neighbourhood at Edenbrook is now well underway. Edenbrook will provide over 300 homes, including much needed affordable housing for local people, located on the western edge of Fleet in Hampshire.
However, what makes Edenbrook unique is the magnificent 24 hectare country park which has been delivered by Berkeley in partnership with Natural England and Hart District Council, providing both a haven for wildlife and a recreational asset for the local community.
This case study illustrates the benefits that the Edenbrook Country Park has provided to the natural environment and the local community, and how this success has been made possible through collaborative working between Natural England, Hart District Council and Berkeley.
The objective is to show how collaborative working can facilitate, if adopted as a matter of good practice, the delivery of sustainable growth and create more valuable places for the natural environment and local communities.
