Newlands is a 20-year community woodland regeneration scheme in north west England. Led by the Forestry Commission (FC), it has converted 540ha of neglected land into valuable green space. TEP researched and mapped the evidence on socio-economic and environmental deprivation which enabled the FC to secure £59m government funding. Judges commented that “the robust evidence-based methodology has enabled resources to be focussed with great effect”

Highly Commended
TEP’s “FutureVision” student, Lee Miles, presented concept designs for the Tawe corridor which stretches 4.5km north from Swansea city centre and includes several large brownfield sites identified for major mixed-use regeneration. TEP prepared a green infrastructure (GI) strategy which included a green space masterplan and proposed GI standards for use in development control. Lee’s design concepts were derived from TEP’s strategy. Judges commented that “the submission included a thorough analysis with impressive proposals for green infrastructure and green housing.”
