Bickershaw North is part of English Partnerships' (EP) National Coalfields Programme. TEP was appointed as masterplanner for the reclamation and regeneration of the 256 ha site and produced a series of masterplan options, focused on leisure, recreation and Ourism related uses. TEP worked closely with EP, Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council and a multi-disciplinary project team, including Engineers and Economic and Leisure Consultants, to ensure a creative and sustainable solution was developed.
TEP also prepared exhibition material for a series of public consultation events to guide the masterplanning process. The masterplan options formed the basis of an application to the OPDM to secure funding.
