This week we said a huge edge WELCOME to Neha, who This week we said a huge edge WELCOME to Neha, who has joined the team in our Birmingham office as a Graduate Urban Designer! So exciting! 

Here are some fun facts about the lovely Neha:

🌟 Neha loves exploring cities on foot, because the view on the way there never quite looks the same on the way back.
🌟 Writing is her favourite form of expression, whether it's heartfelt birthday cards to her parents or reflective pieces on architecture and urban life.
🌟 A travel enthusiast with a growing bucket list, she’s currently exploring the UK, one train ride and coffee stop at a time.
🌟 Put on a Bollywood track and she’s already dancing, whether it’s at home or gate-crashing a wedding (yes, really) and becoming the life and soul of the dance floor.
🌟 A big fan of quiet corners and good books, she enjoys fictional love stories and self-help reads. Currently, she’s deep into The Psychology of Money.
🌟 Cooking is her daily meditation, but the real joy comes from feeding others, hosting dinners and sharing her food is what makes her happiest.
🌟 She unwinds with a bit of DIY décor, styling small corners with plants, colours and quirky pieces that make a space feel like home.

Welcome to the team Neha! 💖

Introducing Cavendish Road, Clare, an outline appl Introducing Cavendish Road, Clare, an outline application for up to 70 new homes in West Suffolk, prepared on behalf of our client Rainier Developments. 

This new gateway to the town of Clare has been designed to complement its location, enhancing the approach from the east and integrating sensitively into the existing settlement. Designed around the themes of connectivity, character and community, the proposals seek to strengthen the existing green infrastructure links and active travel connections to the south, supporting the movement of people and wildlife, and promoting a more sustainable way of life. 

New pedestrian links will further enhance this already well-connected Site, providing safe, convenient access to the various services and facilities of the town. The Site also has the potential for new trim trails, circular walks and cycle routes to be plugged into the existing Public Rights of Way to ensure connectivity to the wider footpath network as well as the surrounding countryside.

The Site has the capacity to deliver up to 70 dwellings of varying house type and size, 40% of which will be affordable, as well as a new public car park for the town which will include EV charging points and help reduce the pressure on car parking areas within the historic town centre. The introduction of substantial areas of green open space, as well as new tree and boundary planting will provide biodiversity enhancements, and a new orchard will encourage local food growing, strengthening the links between new and existing members of the community. 

The dwellings will be designed to reflect the character and aesthetic qualities of the wider Clare area and mirror design features of the settlement. The development will create a fantastic addition to the town, supporting the viability and vitality of all existing facilities and the continued growth of Clare.

Some very exciting news to share this morning, a h Some very exciting news to share this morning, a huge official edge WELCOME to Iain, who joined team edge last week as Senior Associate …and Alfie has been the best boy making sure he’s settled in at HQ! 

Here are some fun facts about the lovely Iain

🌟 I am a big foodie and enjoy exploring all types of cuisine. I particularly like exploring markets and trying different street foods and craft beers.
🌟 To balance my food indulgence, I regularly go to the gym and recently started working with a personal trainer for the first time. It’s still a work in progress but I’m feeling the benefits and hoping it helps keep the aging process at bay!
🌟 I am a keen walker, especially along the coastal paths along Devon and Cornwall with the stunning views out to sea.
🌟 Travel is another passion of mine. My most recent trips were to Budapest, northern Italy and Porto, each one packed with amazing food.
🌟 I’ve recently taken up salsa – specifically Cuban Salsa - and really enjoy learning new moves and the social dancing. It turns out that there’s something happening almost every weekend.
🌟 I was born in Scotland and still think of myself as Scottish even though I’ve never lived there. That said, I usually go with “British” when travelling abroad. I also find myself very conflicted when England and Scotland play football.
🌟 I spent the last couple of years refurbishing a Grade II listed house. It has been exhausting and a rewarding journey and, whilst I’m proud of the result, I’m enjoying having my weekends back!

Welcome to the team Iain! 💖
A big edge thank you to our friends at Stantec for A big edge thank you to our friends at Stantec for giving us a fantastic tour today of Oxford North, Oxford’s new innovation district opening later this year - a new place to answer tomorrow’s biggest questions!

As seen on BBC2

In early 2018, BBC Two featured a two-part documentary entitled “The New Builds Are Coming: Battle in the Countryside”.

Hannah and Sarah, whilst working at another practice, both featured in the second episode. “The New Builds are Coming” was created by film makers to tell the story of housing development that isn’t often told in the media and to showcase the extensive work and the design process that happens “behind the scenes”.
