Essex Developers Group (EDG) is working with the Government, Housing Minister, Homes England and Essex County Council to accelerate housing delivery and affordable homes. Key areas of focus include planning, viability, construction skills, climate action, quality design and supporting SMEs / smaller house builders.
EDG has excellent links and a history of positive working with a wide range of housing and planning Groups including: Essex Planning Officers Association and Essex Housing Officers Group. It forms part of a wider collaboration of developer groups which currently exist in the South East.
The formation of the EDG is vital to the county’s future growth and prosperity. The group is working with house builders, contractors and agents along with key planning and housing officers across the county to promote joint ambition and collaboration, share best practice and ensure infrastructure is aligned with sustainable housing growth. In doing so, EDG will be able to speak with a much stronger voice directly with government.
