Hive examined what best practice in the design and implementation of stewardship vehicles looks like on a national basis and then applied those findings to Maltkiln Village, linking it to the site’s policy aspirations. This enabled Harrogate Borough Council to consider the pros and cons of various national stewardship initiatives, both old and new, and how they could play a part in realising the vision for Maltkiln Village. Hive’s output from this commission included: An overview of nationally recognised best practice examples from across the country; Specific suggestions as to how similar stewardship models could relate to policy aspirations for the development; A series of questions to prompt the client to consider the role they might need to play in order to realise the stewardship vehicle; Identification of considerations in terms of the affordability of certain proposed elements of the stewardship vehicle; and Recommendations regarding the phasing and delivery of the community infrastructure.
