Phoenix Way, Wigan

Hive Homes

Hive were instructed by Hive Homes to provide pre-application planning consultancy services and a Planning Statement for the development of a brownfield site off Phoenix Way in Wigan.  

Phoenix Way

Delivery

Hive Homes is the Greater Manchester Housing Providers’ Joint Venture, funded by 10 Greater Manchester based Registered Providers (Great Places, Salix, Onward, Irwell Valley, Mossacre St Vincent’s, Bolton at Home, One Manchester, Southway, Wythenshawe and Trafford Housing Trust).

Outcome

The proposed development comprises 101 residential dwellings, with 25 homes being affordable rent tenure and the remaining for market sale. The Planning Statement clearly set out the benefits of the scheme, which would deliver regeneration of a brownfield site in a sustainable location.

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.
