Planning

We guide projects from first idea to final delivery, combining expertise in planning, heritage and environmental assessment with a deep commitment to collaboration and successful outcomes. Our approach ensures plans are not only sustainable and sensitive to place, but also shaped through meaningful engagement, supporting confident decision-making and long-term value.

Design

Through thoughtful, nature-based design, we deliver sustainable, high-quality landscapes that restore natural systems, enrich communities, stimulate economic regeneration and contribute to a healthier, more resilient environment. From urban spaces to natural landscapes, we collaborate closely with clients, communities, and stakeholders to develop strategies and detailed designs which create places where people and nature thrive.

Environment

We support practical, nature-led solutions that promote biodiversity, climate resilience and long-term stewardship, combining scientific insight with creative thinking. From enhancing habitats and managing green assets to guiding strategic land use, our work is shaped by innovation and collaboration. Across a wide range of sectors, we help clients create ecologically rich, sustainable and well cared-for environments.

Technical & Specialist Support

Our technical services combine environmental expertise with precision and collaboration. We provide robust data, clear analysis and practical solutions to support confident decision-making. From surveying and mapping to environmental modelling and digital tools, including our bespoke HabiTEP habitat assessment platform, our work ensures every project is informed, measurable and aligned with long term environmental goals.

TEP has been proud to support the regeneration of the Grade II Listed Earlestown Town Hall, one of the most historically and visually significant buildings in the town centre. Dating from the late 19th century, the Flemish-inspired civic building occupies a commanding position within Earlestown and has long served as a local landmark and community venue. Over the years, the Town Hall has played host to generations of local events and performances, including an appearance by The Beatles during the early years of their rise to fame. Commissioned by ECF, we provided heritage and archaeology consultancy services to support the redevelopment and restoration of the building as part of wider regeneration ambitions for Earlestown town centre. Working as part of a multidisciplinary team, we provided heritage s upport and advice throughout the pre-application stage, helping to shape proposals that would be sympathetic to the building’s historic character while enabling it to meet modern community needs.
