Our Journey
Stuart and Mark spot a gap in the market. A delivery focussed development consultancy with a specialism in delivering for, and in collaboration with, public bodies. With a combined 20 years experience of working for Homes England/HCA/English Partnerships, there is a wealth of knowledge, experience, contacts and hard-won nous around the do’s and don’ts when it comes to delivering development with the public sector.

So Hive Land & Planning was launched in Spring 2018 and it’s been a fantastic journey so far…..
