We are pleased to be part of the design team for the £50m expansion of Edgeley Park, the historic home of Stockport County FC. The project will increase the capacity of the stadium to around 18,000 and deliver major improvements to the East, North, and South stands, while enhancing the public realm and integrating the stadium with surrounding streets.

Randall Thorp were responsible for the Townscape and Visual Impact Assessment and detailed landscape design services. Our approach focused on merging the development sensitively within the local context, while also enhancing biodiversity and creating spaces that benefit people, place, and the environment. Key landscape design features include new native woodland, trees and hedges, ornamental and wildflower planting, sustainable drainage systems, and wildlife corridors along the site boundaries. These interventions will create a greener, and more welcoming stadium environment for supporters and the wider community.
