The development will provide 15% affordable housing and 10% specifically designed for older residents. Thoughtfully planned, the site will feature landscaped open spaces, mature woodland areas, and a comprehensive network of pedestrian and cycle routes that seamlessly connect with existing neighbourhoods and wider active travel networks.
Copelaw will offer a varied mix of home sizes and tenures to meet diverse local needs, helping to address the demand for quality housing in the area. The site has already seen approximately £9 million invested in highways infrastructure, supported by Durham County Council and Homes England.
With a focus on sustainability, community integration, and high design standards, Copelaw represents an exciting opportunity to shape a vibrant, inclusive new urban neighbourhood.
