Why Durham Moor is different from the rest of Durham

Durham Moor is a suburban pocket inside Durham, and the practical realities on site aren't the same as a generic Durham job. We plan around 1960s-90s family homes, wider drives and mature front gardens. That's why this page exists separately to ourDurham page— the work, access and finishes are typically different even when the postcode is shared.
