Why Plains Farm is different from the rest of Sunderland

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