  • A multi use games area/ tennis court;
  • – Events/caravan/ camping area;
  • Retention of existing bowling green; and
  • Associated car parking and landscaping.
    • 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.

    Outcome

    Hive have led the pre-application engagement with Preston City Council, engaging with both Planning & Design Officers to ensure Space & Place (the scheme’s Architect) were clear on design parameters and Council expectations. Hive have also led the public consultation strategy, which took place at the Club in 2022 and also involved meetings with the local Parish Council to understand the main priorities for the Club’s Members and nearby local residents to ensure the new facility would be successful and sustainable.
