Yorkshire Housing And Termrim Construction

This project demonstrated Hive’s ability to work positively and proactively with the local planning and highway authorities, understand the technical details of a development scheme and successfully negotiate amendments to a planning permission and discharge conditions in order that work can start on site at the earliest possible opportunity.

Delivery

In tandem, Hive also sought to remove any pre-commencement conditions in order to enable a swift start on site to be achieved. The Section 38 details that had been produced by the contractor were also submitted with the application and through continued dialogue with the Council, contractor, the highway authority and the client, all pre-commencement requirements were agreed, with no such conditions attached to the new approvals. Hive has then been retained by the contractor Termrim to discharge all conditions across the two phases.

Designing a detailed strategy and programme to unlock 48 residential sites with a capacity of 3,500+ new homes.
Production of a PID, implementation plan, site prioritisation matrix, area based promotion and marketing documents, and individual proformas for each site including an analysis of the interventions required
A landowner engagement strategy and extensive engagement with funding bodies (including Homes England) aimed at specifically addressing viability challenges.
Drafting an investment prospectus and launch event to directly market the sites to developers.

Outcome

Upon Hive’s appointment, the site already had a complex planning history. It comprised of two phases, each of which had their own planning permissions (and subsequent minor material amendments), with a Section 106 agreement binding the site together as a single development site for 106 dwellings. Hive’s instruction was to work closely with the client at Yorkshire Homes to establish a planning strategy to increase the number of dwellings from 106 to 109 by amending the existing planning permissions. At an early stage, Hive met the planning officers at Craven District Council and reached an agreement to progress the submission of two Section 73 applications in order to increase the number of units across the site.

Handforth Garden Village

We’re supporting Cheshire East Council and MADE Partnership to bring forward the delivery of Handforth Garden Village, one of the North West’s largest new communities. By coordinating planning, funding, governance and programme management into a single delivery programme, we’ve been the keystone between the public and private sector partners, helping ensure this complex, multi-partner project maintains momentum and achieves critical funding milestones.

Radcliffe, Pride in Place Programme

Working alongside Layer.studio and PLACED, we are supporting Bury Council and the Radcliffe Neighbourhood Board to prepare Radcliffe’s 10-Year Pride in Place Regeneration Plan, helping to shape a long-term regeneration vision rooted in local priorities, community engagement and evidence-led decision making.

The government’s new Pride in Place Programme represents a significant shift in how regeneration funding is delivered, placing communities much closer to the centre of decision making through locally led Neighbourhood Boards and longer-term place investment plans.

Cotton Works, Wigan

We secured £24m of Good Growth funding for the Heaton Group through a fiercely competitive process. Without this essential grant, the project simply couldn’t proceed. Acting as the keystone between key players at GMCA and Wigan Council, we coordinated a compelling funding submission that demonstrated the scheme’s transformational potential.

Town centre regeneration is a political priority across Greater Manchester, but delivery depends on making the numbers work. Cotton Works is designed to be the catalyst that unlocks wider investment in Wigan town centre. It demonstrates what’s possible when you align public sector ambition with private sector capability, creating places that actually work for local people. That’s what this funding achieves.
