Why Nevilles Cross Village is different from the rest of Durham

Nevilles Cross Village is a suburban pocket inside Durham, and the practical realities on site aren't the same as a generic Durham job. We plan around longer single-vehicle drives that often need widening or re-shaping. That's why this page exists separately to ourDurham page— the work, access and finishes are typically different even when the postcode is shared.
