Why Brafferton is different from the rest of Newton Aycliffe

Brafferton is a rural pocket inside Newton Aycliffe, and the practical realities on site aren't the same as a generic Newton Aycliffe job. We plan around longer approach drives, gravel-to-resin conversions and rural drainage. That's why this page exists separately to ourNewton Aycliffe page— the work, access and finishes are typically different even when the postcode is shared.
