English Partnerships is the national regeneration agency, helping
to support high quality sustainable growth in England. We do this by:
- Developing our portfolio of strategic sites
- Acting as the Government’s specialist advisor on brownfield land
- Ensuring that surplus Government land is used to support wider Government
objectives, especially the Sustainable Communities Plan
- Helping to create communities where people can afford to live and want
to live
- Supporting the urban renaissance by improving the quality of our towns
and cities

Chair of English Partnerships
This project in Telford will form one of the largest and most exciting
development projects being planned in England today. The project reflects
English Partnerships’ commitment to sustainable regeneration — working
with local authorities and local residents to drive forward long term,
environmentally sound solutions which support the needs of communities
across the UK. Lawley is a national example of best practice in sustainable
growth and a model for the design of other urban extensions across the
country. This exemplary scheme has been masterplanned in close consultation
with the local community, key stakeholders and consultants via the highly
inclusive Enquiry by Design process. This process ensures that participants
have a real ‘hands on’ approach to shaping the future of the
area in order to create a safe, healthy and inclusive environment that
will meet the needs of existing and future generations.
