‘Historic environment’ is the term used to describe all of the surviving physical remains of past human activity, encompassing built heritage, the historic landscape, and buried archaeology. Public interest in, and concern for, the historic environment has never been greater and at TEP we understand the value of the historic environment for its contribution to the quality of life to this and future generations.
Our historic environment team provides professional advice on how constraints can be identified and mitigated. We tailor our response to the needs of each unique project and can provide any level of support including feasibility appraisals, heritage statements, EIA, consultancy, design and commission of archaeological work, identification of heritage benefits, and expert witness services including appearing at public inquiries.
We produce conservation plans for historic parks, gardens and landscapes. These build on comprehensive site survey and background research to ascertain the significance of the asset. TEP can provide expert advice on appropriate repairs, interventions and development in association with our landscape management and design teams. We regularly work on Heritage Lottery Funded schemes and assist with grant applications and project management.
Our team has worked on a large range of developments including housing, commercial and industrial schemes as well as renewable energy and large scale infrastructure projects. Our historic environment and archaeology team is a Registered Organisation with the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists.
