Salford City Council re Worsley Delph
A very pro-active and customer focussed company.
Homes and Communities Agency re our long-term landscape management consultancy
This is an excellent piece of work. The proposals are very appropriate and should result in great improvements to the accessibility and quality of experience at Bedgebury; there will be strong policy support.
David Scully
Landscape and Biodiversity Officer, Tunbridge Wells Borough Council
TEP’s team has provided excellent support through the six years of the project. The scheme (a long linear project over 57km and several local authority boundaries) required environmental surveys in quite challenging timescales. One of the team’s strengths has been stakeholder engagement throughout the period.
