Why Neville's Cross is different from the rest of Durham

Neville's Cross is a suburban pocket inside Durham, and the practical realities on site aren't the same as a generic Durham job. We plan around back-garden patios with level changes and lawn-to-paving transitions. That's why this page exists separately to ourDurham page— the work, access and finishes are typically different even when the postcode is shared.
