Wants to see Eden's development (5)
I believe the answer is:
needs
'wants' is the definition.
('need' can be a synonym of 'want')
'eden's development' is the wordplay.
'development' indicates an anagram.
'edens' with letters rearranged gives 'NEEDS'.
'to see' is the link.
(Other definitions for needs that I've seen before include "Can't do without" , "Misses" , "Things that are wanted" , "Is desperate for" , "Demands" .)
