Local considerations in Durham
As well as Durham itself, we quote in Chester-le-Street, Houghton-le-Spring and Stanley. Durham sits around 17 miles from Darlington. The North East has many solid brick terraces, including former colliery housing, plus post-war council estates with some system-built homes.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across County Durham: sheltered town streets fare better than walls on high ground or facing the prevailing weather, and the render, beads and cill details are chosen with that in mind.
We can quote park homes in Durham from photos and measurements first, then confirm on site.

Planning and building control in England
Park homes are governed by the site licence rather than householder planning rules, so the key check in Durham is the licence's spacing between homes and any rules on exterior finishes.
Do I need permission from the site owner?
Check the park's rules and your written agreement. Park sites are licensed, and the licence normally sets fire-safety spacing between homes. Adding insulation reduces that gap slightly, so we confirm the measurements and the site's position before quoting. Planning permission isn't normally involved for park homes, but site licence conditions are.
