Former Whittingham Hospital, Preston

Preston City Council

Hive enjoy adding value to client’s projects in a wide range of areas and green infrastructure management strategies is one such example.

Delivery

Through liaising with the estate managers and site managing agents, Hive are able to advise on the feasibility of proposals for the management of green infrastructure and areas in which there may be potential sensitivities around costs throughout the establishment of a site specific management company.

Outcome

Working alongside estate management cost consultants, Hive created an overarching financial model that will inform the viability of a future site wide management company and the likely future service charges that residents will incur with large, well landscaped and complex sites such as Whittingham Hospital.

More Projects

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.

 

 

Instructed by Hive Homes to provide planning consultancy advice in respect of a residential scheme proposed on a previously developed site in the Green Belt. We initially led the pre-application discussions with Bury Council, who were also the landowner.

Acting for Redrow, Hive were instructed to lead the submission of a reserved matters application for 169 homes. This was the third phase of residential development at Yew Tree Farm and so it was important to ensure that consistency was achieved and we did this by working extremely closely with the design and technical teams at Redrow.
