Process

Before completing the application form please speak to one of our employees, either from the Community Engagement or Estate Services Team, to initially discuss your application. You can do this by calling 01296 732600 or by emailing hello@fairhive.co.uk

Please make sure your idea meets the criteria on this page before you submit your application form. Failure to do so will result in your application being automatically rejected.

Once submitted, your application will be passed to the Nurture your Neighbourhood Resident Panel for a review and decision at the next quarterly meeting.

If your idea is approved you will not receive a grant to carry out the improvement yourself. The works will be carried out by us or our contractors.

Criteria

For your application to be considered it must be:

• from a Fairhive tenant or leaseholder

• for an environmental or community safety improvement

• of benefit to your community or neighbourhood

• supported by two different residents, from two separate households.

Your application will be automatically rejected if:

• it is submitted by a Fairhive employee, on behalf of a resident

• it is for the benefit of one person

• it will have a detrimental effect on the community or neighbourhood and no suitable alternatives can be offered

• it exceeds £10,000

• the land where the improvement will be is not owned by us (unless permission has been gained from the relevant authority / organisation)

• you submit more than one application in the same financial year

• the improvement is for works that are our responsibility 

Please be aware that you will not be given the money, as we will estimate the price of work and materials in accordance with your application.
