What our clients think of us
The Council have instructed Hive on a number of significant residential and regeneration projects within the City, including the review and implementation of the City Living Strategy, bidding to the LGA to secure funding and helping to establish a housing delivery vehicle. Hive are also project managing the delivery of the Homes England Local Authority Accelerated Construction Programme, the purpose of which is to invest grant into PCC owned sites to unlock them for residential development. Critically, Hive understand the way the Council operates and so have always provided prompt and well considered advice and they share our drive to achieve the Council’s growth objectives for the City, which has been extremely well received by everyone involved.
Homes England have worked with Hive on a wide range of projects, including site promotion, strategic business cases, the promotion of HE programmes to local authority partners, evidence-based work on housing delivery trajectories, complex commercial negotiations around access agreements and development agreements and large scale outline planning applications. Myself and the team have been very pleased with the work Hive have done, which has always been to an extremely high standard and delivered in line with our programme and always to budget. Hive’s collaborative approach and public-private experience has been critical in helping us to achieve successful outcomes with both developers and local authority partners.
